I haven't either.

I didn't even know about them until a buddy of mine told me he saw them in a small Archery shop.  I ended up buying all they had.  :)

I have a friend in Missouri that guides and has a game call business. He has always shot 7.5's and he swears by them. To say he has killed allot of turkey's with them would be an understatement.

Sightings are pretty rare these days.  Some boxes have popped up at gun shows, though.  That's about the only source I've heard of for the last couple of years...and not the gun shows I've attended, of course.  :(

Wow, those are some of the older ones before they put the turkey pic on the box.  I only have four boxes of those.

Killing turkey's inside 30yds..don't even need 3 inch turkey loads. Winchester 23/4 1.25 ounce 6's, heavy loads will kill turkey's out of my 870's all day long inside 30yds. Those are around 10.00 for a box of 25. I know this from killing allot of turkey's before they ever made turkey loads or screw in turkey chokes.


I know what you mean,I used a Rem.1100 2-3/4" fixed modified barrel for years,killed birds every year with Federal 2-3/4" HB 1-1/4oz #4's and 5's when I could find them. 
For some reason,hunters thing that the birds are armour plated these days.

AMEN!!  I use to hunt with a Mossberg 500 with a factory full choke shooting 2 3/4" Fed. Premium Magnum 6's in 1 5/8 oz or 1 1/2 oz. which ever I could find.  Still have a box of 10 of these shells and wish I still did because I would have more money in my pocket!  I always set up so I had 30 yard or less shots and killed alot of turkeys with this load.  For some reason we think turkeys are made of kevlar and armor plating!

Another turkey fell to the #7.5 lead.  My dad killed a real nice tom with them, probably about a 20 yard shot.

Sweet!  I guess they still haven't hit their expiration date yet.  ;)
