Patterning turkey guns

[GAWeighMaster]

What's a good patterning shell and choke for a 10 gauge? I bought a hr turkey model 10 gauge off here and it has a wide open pattern. Been looking at an Indian Creek...

I just seen a guy say all the ammo at academy was behind the counter... Maybe I need to stop by the one in cartersville

I just checked and I only have 3.5 #6s

Thanks for looking. I'm gonna keep an eye out at Walmart for some 3in XRs. Love them things. If I see any I'll let you know

Those H&R turkey guns usually have pretty good factory turkey chokes in them. The shells might be the issue. I’d try some Apex loads and see what it looks like first.
Can you measure it with a micrometer and see what constriction it is?
