Hey all got out today for a measured 40 yard shot. 116 in the 10 inch circle. I still have some time before opening day so I might polish the barrel and see if I can get a few more at 40. So do you think 116 federal #7 heavy will do the trick at 40? The pattern was pretty evenly spread in the 10. Let me know and THANKS!!

116 will kill the whizz out of one @ 40yds.

You're over the gold standard which is 100 in a 10" circle. You might be able to tweak it to get some more but I wouldn't be afraid to take that gun in the woods.

Sounds like a great shooting rig! Good luck!
The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.

I would stop shooting and go hunting. I can count on 1 hand how many shots I've had to take over 40 yards. At least now you know that you have a killer rig inside 40.

If it was a good even pattern I would hunt with it.

I think you'll find that your pattern will be sufficient at 40 yards.
If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!
