That's a fine do-all field load, but rather pathetic by 10 gauge standards for a maximum.
I've got both Fg and FFg powder to try, along with a plethora of wad and card combo's. For turkey's, I would like to stay in the 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 ounce range if possible. I know that I can get a 30 yard capable pattern in those parameters with the modified choke. At 1 1/4 ounce, I'm going to be hard pressed to get the pattern I need.
