Title: Mossberg 940 Turkey Pro 18.5 patterns
Post by: InmemoryofLMC on March 02, 2023, 09:04:51 PM
I wasn't able to find much info on this gun so hopefully this will help somebody. Mossberg 950 Turkey Pro 18.5" barrel with Carlson Long Beard .660 choke. I shot 3 different rounds Apex Ninja #8.5, Federal TSS #7 and Winchester Long Beard #6. I got the best results out of the ninja #8.5 shot from 50, 40, & 20 yds. The second best was the Long Beard #6 fro 50 and 40 yds. I run out of daylight so will shoot at 20 at later date and post pic. The 3rd was decent pattern with the Federal TSS#7. 1 set of pics are the Ninja 2-long beard 3-federal tss.

Great patterns, looks like a you got a choke/gun combo that isn't picky about ammo.

I'm suprised the long beards didn't drop off much between the yardages being lead pellets vs the tungsten.
