You did some shooting! Jellyhead with hevi 7s or 6s seems to bee the way to go. Although they will all work

cordgrass

Think i am going with the jellyhead and hevi 6 & 7s. I still want try the rhino choke.  Next on the list is some nitros

noisy box call that seems to sound like a flock of juvenile hens pecking their way through a wheat field

I'd strongly recommend a .660 rhino and nitros. There's no lot number inconsistency with nitro shells, and they'll load a duplex.

 :z-winnersmiley:  Jelly Head and #6's Hevi 13...pick it and go...that's a great number.  The 7's are awesome too but if you're worried about the penetration the 6's are a great alternative.  I personally think the 7 has plenty to crush a turkey at 40 yards but some people get concerned right or wrong.  Good luck and nice shooting.
