turkeys shells

[dutchhunter]

what are you guys using this year i got some hevi 13 #5 shot to try this year from what i hear thy are the best shell out there for turkeys . i have been using all kinds of shells over the years and have found very good results from fedarel flight control and rem premier turkey loads . when i is my girls turn to shoot we always go back to the old imperial high brass shells in 2 .75 inch . thy ^pattern very well and do not have the recoil of the 3.5 inch shells .what are you guys having luck with as far as shells DUTCH

Winchester Supreme Elite 6's.

I'm using the same shells. They pattern and kill well. They aren't cheap though.

Winchester triple ### #6 Turkey. By the way Turtles have shells and Turkeys have Feathers.

Winchester triple ### #6 Turkey.

Great shells, I use the #5 and had great luck with them. As for the choke, just the standard Browning Full.

Why the handle Turkeyslayer ,people will come to you for advise with that handle!

Flight control;3"/#5 shot/12ga works great.Choke is a Remington ported Turkey choke.Tightest pattern I have got.

Aren't those the stupid crazy expensive shells from the States?

2 3/4" #5 Federal Flight Control......I should have enough for the rest of my lifetime

 

[sherlockbonez]

Got a new gun this year, so I have to find a new load. Thinking about trying the flight control stuff. Seems to work well in other loads.

Yes - I've used the Federals in 2 3/4 in with excellent results (ie 21 lb turkey on my first hunt) They are expensive, but you tend not to use a lot - its not like duck hunting. I patterned them against some old Winchester Super X #4 - they were substantially tighter, and a better pattern as well!
I bought them because I have a nice old 2 3/4 Wingmaster with a fixed full choke that I wanted to use.

I use Winchester Supreme Elite 6's also. I bought 5 or 6 boxes a couple years ago, after the season, when Walmart had them on sale for $5/box. Will last me a long time...

Here is 3 targets of Hevi 13 3inch #6 with a Pure Gold choke

Not bad for a 20 gauge at 40 yards

 

[DVXDUDE]

Federal flite control 3" #5. They pattern awesome out of my mossberg 535, I shot a tom at 40 yards last year and it jelly headed him like he was at the end of my barrel.

I killed my last big tom at 25 yards with a 7/8oz load of #6 shot over 18.2grains of promo. Not really any recoil but my full chjoke on the baikal took his face off. This year ima use my 10ga with 2 1/4 oz #6 of what ever I can find. Need to hunt something with it to justify bringing it home
