Title: Weatherby pa-08 20 ga.
Post by: Prohunter3509 on August 09, 2017, 10:21:19 PM
Wife got her a turkey gun
Now I gotta figure out were to start
Hoping to stay with 6 shot though
Hadn't dial in a 20 b4 so trying not to spend too much money
Anybody with experience with Weatherby I will gladly listen

Glad your wife has a new turkey gun. What kind of shells are you looking for her ?.... Federal HW 6 shot are pretty good shells....

I can tell you if the pa-08 20 ga is anything like the SA-459 20ga... you can't go wrong with Federal #7 or Hevi #7... they are both good and hit hard.  As for choke.. Carlson .575-.585 is my preference.. they are cheap and pattern great in these little Weatherby 20's...

Go to the 20 gauge gun page and look thru past post or ask any question you have on there and you will get hooked up pronto. Welcome to the 20 gauge club...

Just get something around .562 and some Apex #9. Can't go wrong.

 Any reason you are tied to #6 shot?   No sense in reinventing the wheel.  Everyone on here is gonna tell you federal HW #7.  They are the gold standard 20 gauge factory load
