just shot a 30 yard pattern with #4s
2 oz lead
put 173 out of 266 in a 10" circle
thats 65% of the shot

Opinions please? Is it average, above average or very good.
thanks

Never patterned 4's but that'll make a big mess surely.
CLUCK, YELP, BOOM.

That is a lot of big lead pellets in a pretty small area. I'd say a turkey would be in trouble if he's out in front of your gun at 30 yards.

Id say your ready to go.  those 4's will lay the smack down. 
Do you have pics of the pattern?  any holes or was it even.  That's all that matters, even dense pattern.  High numbers are fun to tinker with, but you can only kill a turkey DEAD....  no such thing as a deader turkey :z-guntootsmiley: :z-guntootsmiley:

Sounds like your good to go at that distance.   :icon_thumright:
Turkeys are as smart as hunters make em and public land offers more classes.
