Turkey Load

Well I figure Ill get this one started and see what everyone is using for a turkey load this up coming season? Personally I think I am going to try out the new Winchester Xtended Range Hi-Density. Apparently it is supposed to have some major knock down power at 40 yds.

That's the one I have used the last two years and 40 yards is only the beginning. If you have the right gun and choke tube that shell has 50 and 55 yard killer power

I use the same kind aswell,its a great load and deff will get the job done

i have been using the hevi-shot at least 3 seasons.. i started out with #5 shot as the season opens and move inti #4 as the leaves start to set on.the 4"s will blow the leaves off and have enough shot left to take the bird down.. i think i will start this season with remingtons duplex load(#4 and #6 shot,a blast of both shot size at the same time will do the job on ole tom this season.

hey robert ,if you don't mind me askin' what kind of gun and choke tube you usin' to get those 50-55 yd shots..if i'd known shots that far were realistic ,i'd got that big ole' topm last year. he just would'nt come any closer than 53 yards

You can get that from a mossberg or remington and a Jellyhead tube. I've heard guys shooting the 3.5 with the 870 and jelly head out to 60 yards and killing birds

I heard Robert was shooting those Turkeys with his bow out at 60 yards at Richards.

Cut that in half and you got it right. I can't even see 60 yards with my old eyes

YES YOU CAN WITH A MASSBERG. TOOK ONE TWO YEARS AGO AT 55 YARDS. HAD BIN WORKING HIM FOR 2 HOURS AND HE WOULD NOT COME ANY CLOSER AND IT WAS THE LAST DAY TO HUNT.DROPED HIM IN HIS TRAKS.

I use the Winchester X-tendeds 5 shot with the Jellyhead.

Winchester Supremes in 5 shots with a tru-glo choke tube.

Got hooked up with some Winchester Xtended Range Hi-Density shells #5 shot size from my buddy. If thats what he shoots, then I will shoot them as well. Can't wait to try them out. First on a target and then on a big old toms head.

I will be shooting an Rem 870 EXP w/Rem Nitro Turkey load, 12G, 3in. 1210 vel FPS, # 5 shot.
