Need Help on which shells

[HunterMc23]

Turkey season's coming up in KY, and I'm having a hard time on which shells to shoot. I am shooting a Mossberg 20ga 500 with an Indian Creek choke tube. I'm deciding between the Magnum Blend or the Hevi #7's. Any info would be greatly appreciated

Hevi 7's are hard to beat...

Personally, between the two you've stated I would go with the hevi 7's. The my 835 just doesn't like the mag blends that well. I know you didn't say anything about them but I would try the winchester long beards. They're lead shot but from my gun they pattern awesome with 4s', 5's, and 6's and all have more than enough energy to kill at 40 yards. There's really no way to decide until you get out and try them all for yourself though.

If you're shoot a 20 gauge, I'd go with the 3" Hevi-13 with 1.25 oz. of #7 shot. You're shooting a .555 turkey choke?

Thanks,

Pattern both, and shoot what your gun likes best.

I just noticed you're talking about a 20 gauge. I'd definitely go with a HTL load. Pattern both and see which one shoots the best in your gun!

Federals heavy 7s are incredible. My daughters old fixed modified barrel throws an awesome pattern w them. My other daughters turkey choked gun throws a decent pattern as well with them but that modified, unbelievable.
Try dif chokes

This is the way I'd go for sure.  Fed HW 7's seem to do really well in 20 gauges and will hit them like a 12.

Don't shoot the Federal HW 7's with the IC choke.  IC doesn't recommend shooting the flite control wads with a wad stripping choke.  The Hevi 7's are the way to go with the IC.
