All of the advice you have received here is spot on!
The 3" 20 gauge loads do NOT pattern well. Useless for turkeys where your target size is about that of a tangerine and the holes in the patterns of most commercial 3" shells are two and three times the size of that tangerine. And for turkeys you don't need the kind of earth scorching power those shells produce. All you need is a pheasant load of #6 or #7 shot at distances under thirty-five yards.
Further, Parker Reproductions don't have the best reputation in the category of stock strength.
