I got my son a 20 ga 870 youth model and purchased a hevi-13 turkey choke for it. What do you think will pattern best in it (federal heavyweight #7 or magnum blends)?

If you take a look through the 20 Gauge Turkey Gun Pattern Pictures page on here, you can find a wide variety of gun/choke/shell combinations that should be able to offer you a good starting point for your son.

Good luck.

Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.

After getting a nice pattern at 40 yards, I decided to get myself a 20 to hunt with and my daughter is using the 870.  I thought the pattern was a little tight for her and just used the Remington factory full with Fed HWT #7.  Deadly at 30 yards and fine at 15.  Will keep her shots at 30 yards or less.

Mine did good with the Trulock choke shooting either one of the federal heavy weight number 7 or the hevi shot number 7 ... i use a scope on mine because of the tighter pattern ..simmons scope pro diamond 1.5 - 5 x 32
