I have seen what I think you are talking about. I have seen everything the same from shell to choke to gun being the same except for shot size and #4 may pattern better than #5 or #6 and or vis-versa. When it comes to turkey guns and shooting tight patterns, I think shotguns are no different than rifles, each one is different and they like what they like.

If I had to go back to shooting lead, the Long Breads are going to be tuff to beat in the testing I have done. I don't know first hand but have heard some bad stuff about them not doing well if they are older. Buddy had some that were about 2 or maybe 3 years old and said that his "glue' (or whatever they use to hold the shot together) had turned to powder and when he shot the shell, the shot did not stay together and the pattern went to crap. I have heard this form a few guys that I trust but once again, I don't know first hand. Maybe they got a bad batch or something, who knows.
