20ga pattern results input needed (pics)

[turkeytromp]

Decided to see what my new 20ga. Franchi 720 would do on the turkey boards yesterday and here are the results. I was shooting with only the front truglo bead sight,The gun is shooting low left at 20,30,40 yards so I had to compensate for that.
Would you guys think this would be acceptable patterns to bust a gobbler with? I spent alot of $$$ on my SBEII this year so I don't really have alot of extra for this 20.ga right now so I bought a new pure gold tempest .555 choke and 4 boxes of the Fed HW #7's

The (1st pic)20yard results are pretty tight but nice,(2nd pic) the 30 yard target I thought was excellent and the (3rd Pic) 40 yrd target what do you all think? could you live with that average pellet count??? The gun/choke/load combo I think this is pretty reasonable here but not outstanding. I cleaned the barrel and choke after every benched shot.

20yards


30 yards


40 yards

Looks good to me!

Looks like a dense area of shot low at 5 o clock on the 40 yrd board. If that was moved into the 10 circle it would look alot better. But all in all pretty good lookin setup, I'd draw a 10" circle circle and see how much those shots 5oclock low picked the count up.

It looks to me maybe a set of sights are in order here then?
I will be testing it out again when weather is permitting to make shure that this is pretty much a consistant pattern. the 20 & 30 yard targets are not that bad using the truglo bead sight but when you go shooting at 40 and even maybe 45 man its luck of the draw with a single bead.

What are you concerned about.  125 at 40 yds is a great turkey killing number.  Your pattern has a couple of small holes, but don't think I'd worry.  It is very difficult to remember to Kentucky it when that big fella is a gobbling at 30 yds, so I would get sights.  Just get adjustable fiber optic sights and you will be set.

That'll work!

Shoot the paper, then draw your 10 circle around the most dense part of the pattern.  Your numbers will be better.
