So just for the fun of it I went out and patterned my 12 guage beneli using the factory full choke. I used 3 different shells. Longbeards, winchester extended range pheasant, and federal prairie storm. Shot all 3 at 30 yards. Longbeards had the tightest pattern but not by much. The other 2 pheasant loads were not far behind. I would not hesitate using them
full choke has taken a many a turkey, you don't have to have a high dollar turkey choke to kill a turkey
My dad has used nothing but a standard full choke since he started turkey hunting in the late 70's. He has killed several piles of them and has never wanted for anything more. Even saw him kill a tom one day with an old hi-brass pheasant #4 that got mixed up in the box with 3" shells, old tom never knew the difference.
