Not worth it in my eyes. I have compared them to longbeards dozens of times and for the most part they dont even come close. My opinion is plain old lead loads are better.

Just stopped by my Wal-Mart, and get this.................3.5in #5 turkey thugs $3.50 a box.  I don't need more shells but couldn't pass up buying a few at that price.

My guess is that we'll never see any turkey loads again for 35 cents apiece !

You're probably right about that!
I remember a store here had a deal where you could buy turkey shells individually. They were all Federal Premiums and I'm pretty sure they were a lot more than that....33 years ago!! Seems like they might have been about $1 each.

Back when I was in high school in the mid-late '80's I would buy Federal Premium 10ga. 2.25oz. #4 from a local hardware store for a $1 a piece. I used to buy 3 at a time for my H&R 176.
