Title: NEW TO SHOTGUNS need some help Franchi Affinity 20g
Post by: Huntress on April 22, 2017, 10:03:53 AM
BRAND NEW to hunting turkey's with a shotgun, brand new to shotguns for that matter.  So I will need some help to cut back the learning curve (and save some money).  The advice below was given a few years back as it pertains to setup.  Does it still hold true, or has anyone found anything else with better results?

"It appears that there are two ideal key setups, one with the 26"bbl version, IC.555 choke and hevi 7's was producing an average 160's in a 10" 40yds at (1box)10 shots benched total.

The second setup is from the 24"bbl youth/womens version swapping the stock to accept the full size stock to get a 24"bbl "Turkey Toting killer" IC.555 choke Nitro 7's averaging 173's in a 10" @40yds. shooting (1box) 10 shots,this was also confirmed by mike ponder of indian creek chokes in all of our conversation regarding this new 20ga. affinity."

I shoot an 870 20 gauge and my best results have came from the Federal HW 7's and a .570" choke.


The Fed's really bring the pain on birds.

I had that same gun. Get a Carlson 575 and some heavyweight 7s. You will be set
