Just a little survey , to see how turkey hunters prefer - we do these polls about every year , and the information is enlightening -
***** if you use a Winchester elite 12gg or the like , that is the equivalent density of Hevi Shot vote on that selection if wish

5x6x7 Hevi Mag Blends here.
#7 Hevi for me.
I voted number 6 lead, but I will be running hevi out of my new 870, I just don't know what size yet. I'm thinking number 6 hevi as well.
#6 Hevi for me
mag blends for the coyote traper
Straight 7s.
:z-guntootsmiley:
So far,about 5% of the members shoot pellets larger than #6's --
do #7's carry enough downrange energy to kill??
#5 lead
#6 Hevishot

YES!!! Had pass throughs at 35 yards last year...
Straight 7's for me...used to be the 6's...got some TSS's from a team member this year..gonna try em...I might just convert if they pattern well
Straight 6's in both lead and Hevi-13.
Have been using #5 lead 3 inch in my 870. This year I will probably be shooting #7 Hevi in my new 835.
Hevi- straight 7s for me....
I am running TSS 8's. Should have bought 9's when I bought them, but I can make do!
Use #6 lead
#7 heavy
Been shooting hevi #5's for a few years now. I am hoping to try out the TSS shortly.
Nitros tri plex loads
#6 hevi Im in Ontario and we are only allowed to use 4 5 6.

I predict you will convert. They are downright nasty. Just open up your choke a little.
PS- I shoot TSS 9s
#7 hevi for me. Bad medicine.
I have run a lot of different ones. This year it will be lead 5's out of the Model 12 and H13 6's out of the 20 gauge 870.
Mainly Hevi 7's but also lead 6's, so I voted for Hevi 7's.
Hevi 6's for me.
Mag Blend this year for me, they work!!
:funnyturkey:
It would be interesting to see this poll in the General Forum; Hevi 6 and 7s may be leading here due to location bias. Turkey hunters who have been shooting lead for years may never visit this corner of the forum due to lack of interest in improving their pattern / gun performance.
Just a thought.
#6 lead.
