Reads well!!

However, the flight control wads usually don't like the choke tubes with slots in them from what I read. I may be wrong, maybe someone else can verify.

Regardless, I hope you get good results.

God Bless,

Great deal on the choke. I'm sure you will like it. Go ahead and shoot the 3.5" 5s you bought; I'm sure they will kill turkeys just fine. Then buy one box, just one box of H13 6s or 7s and prepare to have your eyes opened in a big way. You will not believe the difference in the patterns.

Give the 3" Hevi 13's 6s a try. They pattern better for me than the Magnum Blends. Just keep trying different choke/shell combinations until you get something that you are happy with then quit fretting and go hunting with confidence!
