Good buy, but I would pattern if I used for turkey. In the walmart near me they sold two different federal 20 gauge loads. If it says mag-shok and has the flite control wad 1 5/16 ounce shot, they could be good out to 35 yards for turkey. I never got the winchester shell to pattern very good. They want $15.00 for a box of remington small game load. A box of 25 shells. That's  a good buy for federal or winchester. 30 shells for $15.00.    Cluck

 Yes on the Federal strut shock. Best lead load I have found with my 870 21" barrel with Jellyhead Max choke.
