I have had 2 PMs. The regular long range shoot big shot tight but the smaller the shot the more your pattern opens up. I shoot #3s in steel most of the time for a great mid range pattern. I grabbed a box of #4 steel on accident 2 years ago and hunted the lake with a friend. Birds at 40 yards wouldn't fall. When I got home I patterned my gun with those #4s and the patterns were horrable at 40 yards but very nice at 20. I leave a pattern master in my waterfowl gun and just change the shell for different patterns. #4 fasteel for creek hunting, #3s for most of the time, #2s for lake hunts and decoying geese and BBs or BBBs for pass shooting geese.

For turkey shoots a .635 - .645 is a good choice. Makes fore hot centers in your patterns. I have a el cheapo strut stopper extreme that patterns crazy good with 7.5s.
