[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 1633421, member: 95733"] Was surfing the net last year after turkey season closed for most of the lower 48 in search of deals and stumbled across a Carlton's choke made especially for use with Winchester LB/XR shells called "Carlson's Long Beard choke" for $20 TMD and bought it. It works pretty good and is a great compromise between pattern density and spread. At 40 yards I get over 200 #5 pellets in a 10" circle and 27 in the 2" orange target sticker I used for my POA. Tried #6 shot in the same shells and the patterns have to be seen to be believed over 250 pellets in a 10" circle. I opted for the #5 shot instead because they are better at retaining energy beyond 40 yards and you gain nothing with 10 extra pellets in a turkey's head and neck when you already average over 15. Can't kill a turkey deader than dead. I can highly recommend Carlson's Long Beard choke made specifically for use with 12 gauge 3.5" Winchester Long Beard High Velocity turkey loads. My gun is a first run all mat black Remington 870 12 gauge 3.5" Super Mag with a 24" barrel. [/QUOTE]
