You are just can't count on getting nice, evenly distributed, round patterns with small number of large pellets every time you pull the trigger.
I agree with this 100% when talking about buckshot (3.5" 18 pellet 00 or 3" 13 pellet 00). I think good if it hits 80-90% in some oblong gapped pattern inside a 15" (although I'd prefer an 8-12" pie plate) circle at 40 yards.
But when it comes to smaller size shot with more pellets, I definitely look for more evenly distributed and smaller gapped patterns.
And yes, I do have very high expectations for this gun...again due to the price tag, and also because much cheaper guns pattern far better (thus far).
But if I could find a buckshot and predator shot that patterns as well as turkey does with this gun, I'd be golden...but I'm running out of chokes to try...and to go through all this work and expense for a 40 yard buckshot and predator shot gun would be quite disappointing, but it may happen.
