I know this is a turkey pattern thread, but there is nowhere else to put this. I have posted up info on the load elsewhere, and know that some may be interested.Hevi-Shot Speed Ball 3in #5shot Waterfowl load 12in circle @ 40yds Rem 870SM 24in bblHevi Shot ER choke tube This stuff is FAST. The recoil is not out of this world.
Nice! But #5's for waterfowl? I thought you'd be shooting something alittle larger?
From a duck hunting standpoint a 12" pattern than tight at 40 yds looks like a clean miss or potted meat to me. I guess you could just hit those teal in the head and neck as they fly by . If the speed ball can do that to steel and HM or HS at 40 yds it looks like it could be a new ball game for turkey loads using it with HS to have lower recoil and better pellet patterns with fewer shot.I could see this in the 20s and 2 3/4 12s for sure.
