GT .660 here... Excellent pattern at 50yds but I think the LBs could possibly do even better with a slightly tighter choke... .655 could be excellent!!
Have you patterned at 10, 20 and 30? If so, what were the results?Roost 1 said:
Up to 30yd the wad will blow a hole in the paper... That's just the nature or a tight turkey choke... I do not waste shells at 10, 20, and usually 30yds.. Can't afford it!!

Thanks. I patterned that load yesterday afternoon thru a Kick's .660 and a Jellyhead .655. The Kick's .660 put 151 pellets and the Jellyhead .655 put 176 pellets in the 10" circle @ a lasered 40 yds. I even shot a 3" Long Beard #5 thru the Jellyhead and put 155 pellets in the 10" @ 40 yds. So there's only a 20 pellet pattern difference in the 2 shells with that choke at 40 yards. Your recommendation was spot on Roost.
