I've always shot the same loads, and killed all my turkeys with them, but today I shot 2 paper targets just to be sure all is still good since season opens on Saturday.
Winchester supreme high velocity 3" #5 and #6 (I will be hunting with the 5s)
NEF Pardner pump 12 gauge 28" barrel
.670 accu-choke
20 yards
6 shot on the left, 5 shot on the right.
Shot standing up, no rest for the gun

Ain't nothing special compared to those fancy HTL loads, but I'm happy that I am still hitting the mark. I can and have killed at 30+ yards but I much prefer to have the birds 25 yd or less.
I'm ready to bust a real head this weekend!
That will do it. Call them in and put them down!
Luv them 5's :icon_thumright: Smoked gobbler all day long
i hope you kill 4 longbeards in four trips brother :fud:

The ol saying 3 in the head hes dead you got dead turkeys right there with those patterns. :firefighter:

thanks man. I am still using the choke you gave me
When I was shooting lead these two were my favorite loads. Killed a lot of birds with them and you'll do likewise. :icon_thumright:
Them 5's look sweet!
