Has anyone patterned a 12 guage turkey barrel for an encore? If so, what load worked best for you?

I shot Winchester Extended Range #6's this year and got great patterns.  I took 4 longbeards this spring with it.  Last year I used Winchester HV #6's and took 9 longbeards.  I have had my forcing cone lengthened, bore polished and installed a Rhino .660 choke tube in mine, so it ain't straight stock.  Both shells patterned extremely well for me out of my Encore.

Winchester 3 in. High Velocity #6 greatly outperformed everything else I tried in mine this spring.
Try them, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Winchester HV #6 shot the best for me.  Also I found a .660 choke to give better results than the factory tube.
