All shots are at a 13x19 sheet of paper @ 40 yards.  I didn't bother with a 10" circle - just counted the shots on the paper to get an apples-to-apples comparison for each choke/shell.

3" Federal Turkey Thug #5 shot, Franchi Affinity 3 with Carlsons standard extended .650 choke



3" Federal Turkey Thug #5 shot, Franchi Affinity 3 with Carlsons Longbeard XR .650 choke



Pulled off to the left slightly on this shot.  I need to shoot one time with the #7 Federal heavyweight round with the standard extended .650 choke.  It should improve over this shot.




On a side note I'll be toting my 1187 20 gauge compact shooting 3" Federal Heavyweight #7 with Truglo SSX choke.  Here is the pattern it has @ 40 yards.

ALWAYS shoot at a BIG target....at LEAST 3'x3'. That way you can see all of your pattern,and if there is a difference in you POI v/s your POA. The notebook sized paper does not work.Good luck brother!!!

IMO both 12 ga patterns are over choked.  #5 will do better around a .665 constriction. Both patterns seem to be uneven and have large holes, indicating to tight of choke causing pellets to deform.
