just wondering what is the best and the cheapest turkey load out there? I'm not feeling 22 dollars for a box of 5 hevi shot.

For the money  WW HV 1 3/4oz #5s or #6.  A lead load that gets the job done.  When my current supply of Hevi is gone I'm going back to them.  $22 for 5 hevi is now a very good deal.  One mail order company has them listed at $49.95 for FIVE.

the Whin. HV #6's are a pretty well rounded lead load

As others have mentioned, the win supreme HV lead loads are as goodas you can get for lead loads that are reasonably priced and extremely effective.  Rogers sporting goods also has some federal pre FC wad loads that may be even better than the winchesters and they are reasonably priced as well.

Yes they are as good as the winnys...better in fact!  Rogers has them for $8.99/ box of the 3.5/2/6s at 1300 fps.    :OGturkeyhead:  I ordered 2 boxes shipped for a few cents less than the Win Supreme 3.5/2/6s at walmart after tax.

Win HV Supreme 3 1/2, 2 1/4oz 6's i get'em for 12-15 a box usually, just depends on the store

Win Grey Box 1-7/8oz 6s.  $6.96 at Walmart.  I made nearly 50yds with some rigs and that load.  Most rigs will easily make 40 with them and quite a few will make 45.

Let's just say I refuse to answer, because the amount I possess might get me labeled a "domestic terrorist".   :D

My vote gose for the Winchester HV #6 either 3" or 3.5"

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Don,t overlook winchester xx 2 and 2 1/4 oz. Loads.

As far as loads that shouldn't disappear anytime time soon goes, any of the Winchester offerings (Super X, Double X, or HV) would be a good start.
