I shoot either a 20" on a 835 or a 24" on a BPS. I know 26" and 28" are common. Never turkey hunted with one over 24. Thoughts on the longer

For those who have shot a short and a long barrel is there a difference noticable on patterns at say 40 yards?

Had a 21 now I have a 26 because it will out pattern .

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

20" thought it was 21" but it's not. Remington 870 predator/Turkey.

28" on my New A5....

Longer barrels pattern better for me...

A 26" on my SX2 and a 23" on my 11-87.

Remington 870 with 26" barrel.  Always heard that most long barrels will pattern better, but I'm sure that all depends on the gun.
