All nice patterns.. Dead birds with all of them.  Just curious, any shots at 20 yards to see how tight they are?

Good luck this spring.

All are killers.

This is the .562 at 25 yards. Most of the shot within the 10"

They will all stone a turkey at forty yards, but for me I like the .562 at forty yards. Mainly because the ten is still devastating enough, but the twenty is more even and better covered it and it really becomes much harder for a turkey to walk out of it if the gun is not perfectly on him at the time of the shot. But if you push it to fifty yards, the .555 may become a better choice of the two.

I agree with the above poster, 24" barrel with the 562 looks to be the better all around pattern. Looks like a great combo at both 25 and 40 yards!

That .562 IC pattern with a combined 560 pellets in the ten and twenty - I would never tinker with that set up again. The ten is great but that is a very good outer twenty pattern as well. I'm sure there is a gun somewhere shooting better, but as far as I am concerned you are done with your patterning, it is just time to go hunting with a 20 gauge shooting like that.

good work. you saved a M2 thread for me. 1 5/8oz. seem to be the great equalizer w/ either choke
