Well I bought a Kicks gobblin thunder choke tube for my single shot 10, shooting 5's out of it. Nice pattern at 25, 10 inches. Put the smackdown on 2 turkeys this spring, neither was past 25 though. Anyway, it works.

Terror .720 and Federal 5s. Doesnt matter shot size. 2oz of lead is 2oz of lead. Recoil shouldn't be any different.

I havent needed to shoot beyond about 45 yds. I patterned at 40 yds and it was excellent but I didnot count shot nor take a photo of the pattern. This was on My SP10 with the jellyhead. Get out and do some shooting on a pattern board and you will learn much about your gun, choke and the shot it likes. I have always had best results with #6 shot, even when I use my flintlock for turkeys.

Used to have a BPS 10 and shot invector full with 3 1/2" Federal premium 5's. Shot one bird at 72 yards stone dead. Too much recoil though, not really enjoyable. If I still had a 10 I'd get a patternmaster extended range or a hevi-shot tube and shoot #4 or #5 hevishot if you want extra range. 60-70 yards easy. Brother in law had one of those jellyhead tubes and could shoot a really tight group with 3" 5's out of a 12 to 65 yards.

Thanks- what kind of range do you get with that? I know 6 is easier on the shoulder than 4, but I'm kinda thinking if I have a 10 gauge I might as well shoot a load that will take advantage of the extra oomph. It's possibel I don't know what I'm talking about, in fact I'm sure of that.
