Just curious to see what gun/load everyone will be using? :newmascot: :fud: :OGani: :anim_25:
11-87 3.5 Hevi-Shot #6's
9's ????!!!!!!!! Haha as long as it works I guess. :thanks: :gobble:
I'm using Winchester Model 1300 N.W.T.F turkey special 12 gauge with LongBeard XR's #5's.
The ol' 870 with the Carlson choke gets the nod because it's the only non HD 12 gauge I own and I don't think a .223 or .303 British would be very efficient (or legal).
I've found the Winchester SuperX #5s pattern the best out of my set up.
