I finally found some of the old Remington Hevi-Shot turkey loads. Got a box of the 20ga 3 in 1 1/4 oz 6's to try out. Anyone have any good results with these shells out of an 870 20ga?

They seem to like the Rem SF in my 26" 870. A 570-575 just worked good with that shell.

With the hevi 6's? 140 avg at 40 yards. Took my first bird of the season 2 years ago at a conservative 38 yards and that load just wrecked him! I did a postmortem on his head/neack and he was one huge clot with a bunch ofd shattered bone mixed in. Nasty. I have the pic on here somewhere...
