I looked through my patterns shot this past spring. Using #6 copperas plated lead turkey load, it shot it the 230-250 range 40 yds/10" circle. I isn't shoot the lead at 70 sp I don't know what it would do at that distance. You want me to give it a try at 70 yds? If I had to guess it would be in the 40 pellet range. Hevi shot is always better then lead, and in my
gun Mega shot is always better than Hevi shot.
There is no doubt the tight choke makes a big difference. Remember my turkey choke is XXFull. But I have to tell you getting 36 pellets at 70 yds is pretty darn good for that old 8 ga. Sure would kill a turkey. I remember the days i thought getting 36 pellets at 40 yds was good! You better send it down here so I can give it a try next spring!
Best, Ray
