I got lazy and rushed for time. I might lead sled it before season, but I am satisfied with it at 20. I have learned you can spend a small fortune on chokes to only increase a few pellets. When I find one that is "huntable" I stop. I have two other 20's set up. My 870 is extremely tight borderline too tight. My 1187 shoots a hair low. I will say my franchi hit good poa/poi.

Yes stay with the Fed Hw #7.  Is a denser pellet material and has more downrange energy.  The carlson .575 is what I use also in my Affinity 20a.  Shoots 150 all day long in a 10" circle at 40yds.  I have seen tighter patterns but they tend to be to tight.  I still have enough pellets just outside the 10" circle to finish him off if either the turkey or I move a touch.
