Beretta 390 PG .570 Hevi 13 7's vs Fed HW 7's

[Longshanks]

Beretta 390  PG .570    

Hevi 13 7's  138 in a 10in circle @ 35yds

Fed HW 7's  119 in a 10in circle @ 35yds

Long way from the 170's @ 40yds i read about...

* Beats the lead numbers out of my 12 gauge 870 .665 Hastings with Win.  1  7/8  5's and 6's (g-box) @ 35yds
* Grey box numbers slightly better than Black box.

My Beretta 391 Urika patterns Hevi 13 7's as follows:

  Undertaker .582    140 in a 10" circle @ 40 yards

  Hevi Shot   .573     155 in a 10" circle @ 40 yards

I don't think you'll have any trouble killing a gobbler at 40 -45 yards. Sometimes too much is made of paper patterns and not what is an effective killing pattern.

That's about all I can squeeze out of my rigs with a couple different chokes.

Thanks for the input guys.  I was starting to wonder with the things i have read about 170's @ 40yds.  Guess i am about average with these numbers.  Plenty good for harvesting turkeys inside 40yds.

should do the job with no problem

Think im gonna try the Hevi Shot .573 in my beretta with the Hevi 7's.  Where did you find that choke?

I bought it from a member here on oldgobbler.com. Macks PW has them in stock.

Thanks, I am going to order one.  Hopeful to pick up my numbers a bit.  Yours is 155 @ 40 and mine was 140 @ 35. Havnt bought a choke for that gun since i bought it. Is yours the Beretta 390?

[Longshanks]

Sorry, is just  saw its a 391 urika. Keep you posted.

  You may want to talk with a gunsmith about porting the barrel before you spend more on different chokes.  I have my 1100 20ga ported and shoot a $10 RSF choke.  Fed HW FC 6's=120's, 7's=150's, H13 7's=180's and Nitro 7's = low 200's.  I purchased several more expensive chokes that haven't helped at all.
