The pattern was nice and even with the win extended in 3.5 6 but the numbers were pretty low.I was only averaging around 100 in a 10" circle at 40 yards with a jellyhead .660 but had about 35 in the head and neck so thats plenty.how much do you think it would pick up at around 70 degree weather?it was nice that the impact wasn't off from the hevi 13 to the win extended so i can shoot either.

If you ever hunt when it is 40 degrees, then don't worry about 70 degrees, they will improve.  You have plenty to kill turkeys every time at 40 yds.

thats kind of what i was thinking.Its usually around that temp opening morning so i wanted to see what kind of pattern it would throw.It looked like more than what it was.

I like to do all my patterning at 40 degrees.  It is 40 or less the first week of our season, mornings anyway.  This way you will know the least your gun will do.
