I own the Waterfowl edition and have only patterned it with loads for waterfowl hunting, so can not comment on turkey patterns. However, the gun itself is great! Points and swings great and does exactly what it was designed to do which is, shoot any load, any time without any issues. I hunted with the gun from Sept for early goose season right into January for late ducks and it performed flawlessly. It's been in muddy corn fields, rainy day hunts, bitter cold late winter temps with freezing rain and snow has not failed once. Very pleased with the Versa Max.
