I count 58 in the first pattern and 46 in the second. FWIW I would shoot again, but at 30yds; to determine if the pattern can be more centered. Although the Remington® Nitro-Turkey® is an inexpensive load it patterns well for a lot of us. Again, pattern at 30yds and work back in 2yd increments until you determine the unacceptable point due to pattern disintegration.
heres a turkey vital head shot on an 11 by 11 in paper at 35 yards using remington no 5 nitros and an undertaker choke!~ 103 hits total

Patterns at 30 and 35 Yards might help you see what's happening to your pattern, and show you your POI vs. your POA.
Once you get your POI figured out, it looks like it's a decent enough 40 yard pattern. Definately no problems with the 35 yard pattern.
