Default Patterning for Turkeys

Top to bottom: Quality E 10 gauge lifter, DH 10 with pre owned 10 gauge Twist barrels, PH 12 with Triple X full chokes. The 12 seemed to do best.

Thanks to Charlie Cleveland for the target idea.

Hey Mills.... those cans don't have any holes in them. I sure hope that's not the "after" picture

rick you done fouled my plan....mill s how far away were you shooting them cans..and how many shot was in them... about any gun will put several shot in the can at 40 yards useing no 6 and even more with smaller shot.. i figure if a gun will put 5 shot or more in a can at 70 steps or yards it s good enough for a turkey gun..my best in the can is 7 shot of no 5 lead in it..but have several guns that will average 3 to 5 shot at this distance...it is best to get a gobbler in as close as possible but if he hangs up at 50 yards you need a good close pattering gun..ray m..has the closest shooting gun i know of i ve been trying to beat his score for a long time..a 10 inch circle with 100 to 110 pellets in it at 70 yards..my best is 36 so far with a 10 ga ithaca at that range and a 10 inch circle.. thanks mills for the dr pepper s and rick i aint never gonna get rich with you discovering my plans.. charlie

With the Parkers, it was a real long ways with no. 5's. With the Mod 12, it was probably 40 yds with no. 6. With the Parkers, the PH 12 was the one putting lead in them.

that 16 will put a turkey on the ground for sure.. try some no 2 shot in the 10 sand the 12 and see which one patterns the best..most of the time the bigger bore will handle the large shot better...my 3 inch lc smith longrange is a close shooting gun but the 10 parker will out pattern it with large shot...i use to use bb shot but we can no longer use anything any bigger than 2 s... i like no 4 s in the right barrel and no 2 s for the left barrelin the 8 and 10 ga guns and i like 6 s and 4 s in the12ga most of the time... i got to do a little patterning myself in a few days... i hope i got enough old dr pepper cans to go around..rick may have to go buy some and drink them and send mills and me the cans... charlie
