Turkey Loads

[Deleted member 28227]

Nothing else written on it. Whatever it is, it’ll have to do the trick!

You should be fine... just make sure birds are alone or like 20 ft apart at 35 yards.

I’ll pattern some other loads too before I get out! Thanks for the input

Get him in close and you will do fine, I killed a pile of turkeys in my younger years with a 16 ga with a modified choke and #4 shot.

I couldn’t even remember what I was shooting. A 10 box of turkey ammo usually lasts me 3-4 years. I have a whole of odds and ends in my vest that I have used and all pattern good in my Remington 870 12 gauge but the most common shell in my vest looks like 3” Winchester double x magnum 2 oz 4 shot. I have a box of Federal 3” 1 3/4 oz 5-6-7 shot mix that my dad gave me I might try this year.

I felt like the scrap drywall really added to the mixed-media masterpiece

I always have to pattern because my gun shoots high for some reason. Missed so many birds in about three days at 30 yards and under I had juts ran after one once I was out of ammo. Luckily I found the sweet spot which was aiming at the bottom of their stomach at around 35-40 yards and then I had two down in an hour.

Federal TSS #9 out of a 410 Stevens 301 turkey. left is 15 yards. Right is 50 yards.

I tried patterning my gun again this year and I have to aim about a foot or more below the waddles and around 8 inches to the left in order to have my group on the turkeys head at around 30-40 yards. Anyone else have this issue?

I run a 357 magnum with 158 xtp for turkeys. Seems to do ok to 50 yards.
