Tozman Regular EE Expired Rating - 100% 1 0 0 Location York Region Apr 2, 2006 #5 Winchester "Supreme" High Velocity Turkey Loads, 3 inch 1 3/4 oz. number 6 shot size. Bought it last year from Lebaron for $9.94 a box. I plan to use the remaining shell from that box this year, but with a Baikal MP-153 semi-auto (I sold the 870).
