Best lead pattern you ever shot?

[Borden811]

So, lets see it( or hear about it if you don't have pictures). Lets go with 40 yards, ten ich circle pellet counts, to keep the playing field level. I'm going to shoot the turkey thug ammo this weekend, hopefully that gives me the best I've ever shot. My best to date is 120ish with Winchester supreme HV 6s in the 3.5 inch shell. Is 200 possible? There's a guy on another forum I frequent claiming he gets 200 at 40 with federal premium 2.25oz 6s out of an 835 and a Carlson turkey choke. I'm skeptical, but I suppose it's possible.

At 40 yards,

Mossberg 935 24" barrel with Federal Premium Blue/Gold box 3.5/2.25/6 and the Ulti Full factory choke I am averaging 135. I will be getting a new choke this off season. The best is 148.

Remington 870 20 gauge 21" barrel Sumtoy Choke and Winchester Supreme 5's I am getting an average of 90. The best is 111.

Browning BPS 24" Stalker with Hastings 685 and old Federal 6's I am turning around 155 average. The best is 171.

Just bought more Fed. mag shok in 3.5-2.25-5 and 3.5-2.25-6 to try out, maybe this afternoon I'll get a chance to find out if I can better the 3.5" numbers.

There's a pic here showing a turkey target I shot with this load with 138 on paper and half my core pattern is off the paper. When you figure the fcw out it will sling some numbers
