? For all the 16ga shooters
« on: April 14, 2017, 06:18:05 PM »
Hello all! I'm usually a 12ga guy when it comes to turkeys but I have my grandpas old Remington sportsman 58 16ga sitn n the safe and it is a dream to shoot my question is what do you think would be the tightest patterning factory load out there say a #6 shot size it has a fixed mod choke wish it had a full but oh well I would love to try An take a turkey with it but I won't to be effective past 20 yards or so I'm not set up to reload so that's out the window. Wish I could find another barrel for it An have it cut An threaded for chokes but for now I'm trying to make die with what I've got. Thanks in advance for any input!

Id try Fiocchi high velocity 7.5s to get your pellet count up. They will be good to 30 yards most likely if your pattern holds up.
Midway has them
Go early, stay late, be patient and sit still.
