Hey all, just picked up a nearly mint 870 Special Purpose 3" Bottomland with the 28" barrel to replace my BPS and, obviously, I need to shoot a turkey with it. I grabbed a .660 Jellyhead choke for it since that seems to be the popular choice, and I've got some #4 Grand Slams, Federal Third Degrees and a nearly-new box of #4 Longbeards - are any of those shells a good bet or should I be looking at another option? Hevi-shot isn't an option here in Canada, so I'm either going Lead or TSS - what do y'all think?

Tss is what I would pick. Good luck with your new toy.

I've killed a bunch with lead 4's.

You just have to shoot it and see.

#6 Longbeards are fine shells. If you can find the 1-7/8 ounce magnum loads, they are killer...Good luck with it!

The #6 and #5 longbeards in the 1 7/8 oz are mean.
