Good short range shell would be a 1 1/4oz 7.5 load.

Agreed!

I'll pick up a box and pattern. Only have one tag left so the pressure is off. My only concern is wounding one but my range will be 20 yards or less as I will be woods hunting now that the fields have grown up.

Kicks .655, .660 out of my 870’s with Winchester XX and Super X lead loads are awesome inside 35yds.

Just got back on this site, and reading these post, have got. Me wanting to get out there and testing some shells
And chokes again.
Yesterday I had to hit the brakes on my truck,  two long beards were kicking the feathers out of each other.
I had to blow the horn, to make them move.

Welcome back. I basically finished my testing of shells for short range and found some of the trap shells work very well but would not trust them to 40. My 20g with #9's TSS is working very well I doubt that I will shoot the 12 at Turkeys anymore. Solved the short range dilemma by putting a 1.5 scope on the 20g. Problem with 12 was open sights and if the site picture was not perfect I some times required a second shot. Hate that. but then eyes are getting old.

Agreed about not trusting trap loads to 40, but they are deadly to 30.

Anyone ever try the remington shurshot heavy dove loads?  I got a box of the 20ga 1oz #6 for my young son to use as Turkey loads in his 1187. I thought is that they will be fine out to 25yds, which is all the farther I'd let him shoot.

They will do fine to 25 yds, but they will not pattern nearly as well as a 7/8 oz load of high antimony 7&1/2s like you will find in a high quality target load.
