[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2301739, member: 116439"] It really depends on the size of the shot. If you see that newer Turkey/duck loads there is a "Buffering" compound between pellets to keep the shot pattern tighter with tighter chokes. If you take a 000 or 00 Buck shot load there is only several pellets. When the wad goes down the barrel the shot is compressed from force. When the wad is leaving the barrel and it is compressed by a full or x full at the last part of leaving the barrel those larger shot basically bounce off each other throwing the pattern off. If the larger shot 00 & 000 in the wad go down the barrel and leave evenly then the pattern stays tighter together. Now when using bird shot and a good wad the wad does get tighter with tighter chokes, leaves the barrel with a tighter pattern and continues to stay more together. Look at your better turkey loads-they are #5 & 6 shot with buffering material between shot.x More pellets and tighter patterns. Not like the older #2 & 4 for turkey. [/QUOTE]
