 what helps you decide what shot size to use during turkey season

I just love the patterns I get from Hevi 13 #7's.  I used them out of my 20 gauge last year and my dad used them in his 12.  I'm going to be throwing them out of my 12 this year as well.

#6's, because I have a bunch.  :)

I have always used 6's, so thats what I voted for. I would have voted for Hevi Blend but it wasn't a option. I started using them last year and love them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I selected 6's as that's  what Ive shot for the past 6-7 years since hevi shot came out but I started shooting Mag Blends (5,6,7 shot blend) last year and think Ive found a good combination for a few years.

Once you make the switch to Hevi-13 #7's, there is no need to look farther.   :z-guntootsmiley:

7s because I trust them to 60

I chose #6 but it really depends on where I'm hunting. If I have a shot of 30/35+ I'll shoot Hevi 6, but on these narrow ridges in the thick woods where my shots are closer -30 I'll jack a lead 4 and lay the hammer down. No sense in shooting a pricey shell if there's no need for it; and lead 4's strike turkeys down like the hand of God within reasonable ranges/where your pattern holds together.

2 1/4 oz of #6's lays the smackdown on em for me. :newmascot:

Give the new 7s a shot.

I would say that's about right. 

surehuntsalot

lead #4's and #5's in my 12ga's
Federal HW #6's and 7's in my 20ga
it's not the harvest,it's the chase

H13 #7's are the best thing on the store shelf.

I also have a bunch of H13 #6's, and Win Sup HV Lead #5's.  I won't be making a special trip to the store just because I run out of #7's, but they are an Awesome shell.
