2 3/4" Remington 870

[charlesgoff71]

I have an 870 wingmaster with a  2 3/4" chamber and a fixed modified choke that belonged to my dad. Was curious if any body had found a decent Turkey load that worked in a modified choke.  My dad took many turkeys with it with high brass #6 and I have killed a few also but probably wouldn't try it past 25 yds. I have no intention of changing the gun in any way.

If you ever watch the early Primos Videos Will Primos is hunting with a modified fixed choke 870 and kills Gobblers clean at 30-40 yards. Im not for or against TSS I just don't use it but this might be a case were the TSS loads would be your best bet. I think Apex loads 2 3/4 now and I've also been told the larger shot sizes like 7s or 8s pattern pretty well with a modified choke might be something to look into. Otherwise without a choke tube change( which I wouldn't do either) you'll have to try a few different brands and sizes. If you keep it 25 and under you should be able to find a factory  shell that works, a lot of turkeys were killed with the same set up before all the choke tubes and super shells

You can still find 2 3/4 Federal H W 7  so i would buy some of those and they are a lot cheaper than TSS.... Rogers Sporting Goods has them in stock for 14.99 box ....

I would give the Winchester rooster xr's a try.

Load #9 tss.  There's some smoker 2 3/4" loads.  I used a 2 oz 2 3/4 load last year and it was devastating past 60 so I'm sure out of a fixed mod it might go to 40.

I've used 2 3/4"  for.........the past 58 years. no problem, just know your gun. I prefer a 1 5/8 load of #5's, years ago this was labeled a 2 3/4" Magnum.

From one Wingmaster lover to another, I'd buy these from Rogers @ $11.99 a box and give them a try, FEDERAL 12GA 2 3/4" MAG SHOK LEAD HIGH VELOCITY TURKEY LOAD. I'd suggest six shot. Two years ago I realized my Wingmaster had taken just about everything except a turkey and I needed to fix that. I used these in a 3" shell and was successful. Years ago I bought a replacement barrel that excepts screw-in chokes so I did use a Primos turkey choke. I'm sure you would be happy with the results. Good luck!
