In my remmy 870 express with rsf choke, either or works great. This year I shot 31/2 6s 21/4 ounce and have great numbers.  Now turkeys disagree though lol

7's for me.  They put up GREAT numbers at 40 and will give turkeys dirt naps right now.  I shot a bird in South Dakota, last Saturday, at 38 lasered yards and the bird never moved after the shot.  They definitely get the job done.

Hevi 7's

289 in a 10 @ 40.   3/2/7's

333 in a 10 @ 40.    3/2.25/7's

*7's are a brutal load on the turkey inside 40yds. Never shot one past 40yds.

*Hunted with the Hevi 13 3" 6's for allot of years and they were business. 7's put so much shot in the turkey and I don't shoot longer distances so 7's is what I run most of the time. Have 6 boxes of 3/2/6's and 2 boxes of the 3" Magblends. Will hunt with those as well.

*the Hevi 13 3/2/6's and 3/2/7's are the most consistent HTL shells I have shot out of my Beretta's and Remington 870's. Can't go wrong with either one.

Every gobbler I ever harvested was taken with 6 shot and all were Winchester ammo. :OGturkeyhead:

7's are great, shoot em in a Jellyhead and SX2, get around 280 in a 10 at 40yd.Has killed up to and way past 40 yd. wish they made them a bit faster but other than that they kill great. 6's are good also but drop in numbers, killed a lot with them when Remington loaded them.
Hunt every day as if it were your last.

If I only had one choice I'd go with the #6s no doubt. They've got the knock down of lead 4s and there are still enough pellets to make a good dense pattern.

Let your gun/choke make the decision for you!

^Same thought.
 
I've killed turkeys with Hevi 6s or 7s and either one absolutely thumps 'em.  I prefer the pattern density I get with #7s best. I shoot an SBE II with a TRuGlo SSX .643 choke.  Every turkey I ever shot at with that combo has rode home with me.

Luck counts, good or bad.

If I was not shooting magblends I would be trying the 7's.  I don't know though....them magblends are a sweet load and I may never try the 7's!

That's the answer..they are all good. See which one your gun likes.

What gun/choke are you shooting?
