What do y'all think was the best shell that as been produced, new or old. I know this will vary as to what gun, choke combo you are using but lets just hear what everyone thinks.

For me its the Whinchester Supreme 12ga 3" #5. These loads throw a great pattern out of my gun and choke combo.

Ready, get set, GO!! :z-guntootsmiley:

Plain lead= winchester super x grey box/Old federals
new lead=Longbeard
HTL= I dont know they all shoot pretty good lol

Since about 1992 for me the Winchester Supreme High Velocity 12 gauge 3" and 3.5" #5, I never shot HTL but I also never saw a tighter patter than Supreme Lead.  Never needed anything else.  If the Winchester Long Beard shells in #5 are as good as everyone says I will probably be making a change.

Yup, those have been those most successful in the turkey woods for me and my family.
