New Turkey Loads for 2016

[allaboutshooting]

Clark- are these copper plated shot?

Great question. The highest quality, plated shot availability I'm told.
Thanks,
Clark

I like the way these sound. What would you recommend for a choke for these? I was planning on trying longbeard xr's with the carlson longbeard xr (which I think is .665) choke in my SXP turkey hunter. Would that same choke work with these shells? Obviously I'd pattern, but if I wanted to shoot both, I wouldn't want to have to have 2 different chokes.

Thanks Clark, this is going to be interesting to see if they will rival the longbeard patterns. Hopefully they are a little more open up close and 40yd patterns are better than standard 3" 6's. I would settle for 160's to 180's at 40 if the 15-20 yd patterns are a little more open. Only down side I see is Pb 7's will make up a 1/3 of the pattern and @ 40 not sure how well they will perform on the turkey as compared to all 6's. Guess it is all speculation until we burn the powder.

 Hmmm....Let's through some #7 lead in there to bring up the pellet count.

I'd like to try the 20ga. Flavor!

I suspect that it will work quite well with that choke tube. Only some range time will tell of course.

Im not too sold on these new shells.  I would prefer Hevi to lower its prices instead

Too bad they don't make them in 10 ga ?

Thanks for the info Clark.  Have you heard what merchants will be carrying the Triples?  I would love to see what the 3 1/2 7's will do in my 835 with the .670 Pure Gold.

You're welcome. Mack's Prairie Wings is always a good source for Hevi-Shot products and I expect that you'll see them in Bass Pro, Cabela's, Academy, etc. They will make their debut next week at the SHOT Show and that's where all the buyers will be placing orders for them. I'll know more after that.

Thanks,
Clark

From what I gather these are only available in blends of 5,6 and 7's.

The 20g is interesting for sure

Speedball waterfowl loads are supposed to have a much thicker copper plating on the  shot (on the steel shot).

Claiming to increase the density, did they do this to the lead shot?

If so does this work and by how much?

Yeah I'll pass.
