 That is what you call ambitious with respect to killing turkeys.  Will buy the Winchester 3” lead loads.

Generally I'll donate it to local hunting clubs, .22LR to Boy Scout's and other groups with a youth shooting program.

Wow, there is a box of the Winchester Xtended Range 6s, would love to find a box or two of those.

Those Remington 3.5 #5 1 7/8 hevi Shot #5 I killed my first bird with those. Started the fever I have 2 left. Those out of my Nova and a Original .655 jelly head were bad news back when they were made. Those shells put hevi shot on the market. 1225fps folks told me to try the #6 but the time I was low nobody offered them anymore. Walmart sold them, wasn’t terribly priced but was stupid high compared to lead back then.
