Thanks to all who have replied. I am not about to start a "scientfic comparision" here, I just wanted to see what patterns certain loads threw down range so I knew what to expect on performace on various game. I have learned that. No further study needed, dead is dead, and either load of #4's or #5's will do the job. Of course the #5's have more pellets, but it seems to me, that the #4's have a a more dense core pattern, and thus it's my choice for turkeys next week when I finally get to go.
No further testing for me unless I try a new load. I do always pattern a new load to see how it performs. I hope my next set of pictures about patterns show up in the form of a nice Missouri Long Beard laid out nice and pretty next to my L.C. Smith!
