I reported somewhere I would post up the patterns of the 18.5" barrel of the M2 as my turkey gun, somewhere on the board. I can't find it, but here you go.

Shooting Heavy 13 Turkey # 2oz #6 at 40 yards, 73 degrees no wind. Rhino extended choke .660 constriction.
I got 151 pellets in a 10.25 " circle (wife's cake plate).

H13 2oz #7 at 40 yards. I got 181 pellets in a 10.25" circle. I don't remember the temp, but think it was in the 50s.

Here's a 20 yard shot, and I didn't count them.

Haven't done a penetration test, but it laid a 2 year old gobbler down Tuesday without any issues.
