Picked up this yildiz about 2 weeks ago. Got chokes in from Sumtoy on Friday so I had to pattern a bit this weekend. I was rushed on time yesterday so I just put up some paper turkey head targets that I had on hand, they measure 11x14. Top barrel I shot from a seated/supported position off my wheeler trailer at 40 yds. Bottom shot standing off hand and 30 yds.
My plan with this gun was long range 35+ top barrel with TSS. It appears like a good hunting pattern. 35 and under bottom barrel with lead. May have to revise the bottom to 25 and under and top above that. Bottom barrel appears a little low may have to aim at the head rather than the neck. Other option is go TSS in both.
Top Barrel: Two shots with Fed TSS #9 using a .562 Sumtoy at 40 yards.
Bottom Barrel: Two shots with Golden Pheasant #6 using .575 Sumtoy at 30 yards.
Thoughts and opinions are much welcomed. I patterned my 12ga 5 years ago with hevi mag blends; they gave a good hunting pattern and it kills turkeys so this is only my second time with the patterning adventure.
