Hey guys,
I still have the first shotgun that I bought and want to take it to the turkey woods again just for old time's sake. The gun is chambered for 2 3/4'' shells which finding turkey loads for is way harder than I thought.
If any of you know where I can find either of these Winchester shells in # 6's please let me know.
Better yet if you have some laying around and don't need them I will gladly compensate you for them.
Thanks,
Barry

You should be able to find the double Xs from several online retailers. Did you try Midway, Macks Prairie Wing, Rogers, etc?
I checked Midway and Rogers...no luck
barry...During the 2016 spring season, I took the Winchester Model 12 shotgun that my grandfather used during his hunting years back in the 1930s. Like your shotgun, it has a 2 3/4" chamber. I took a nice gobbler on the first day of that season using heavy load #6 shot, a load that would be used for pheasants or ducks. At 20 yards, it did a number on the gobbler's noggin!!
Brownells has the Super X version, but Walmart probably does, too.
Winchester's site isn't showing the 1 5/8oz load anymore.
I thought winchester was coming out with a 2 3/4 longbeard #5s.
That stopped manufacturing the Winchester Xtended Range shells years ago. They were my favorite shotshells for birds.
I have most of a box (10) of 2-3/4" XX in 4's if you're interested. The rest of the box is pre flight control Federal 5's in 2-3/4".
I want to do the same thing with my grandads 16 ga side by side and go on one quail hunt with it.

When I first started turkey hunting I used the same shells I pheasant hunt with. 2 3/4 inch #5 1500fps 1 3/8 oz copper coated lead. They drop birds stone dead. They make a 2 3/4 #6 1.5 oz. Here is a link.
