870 with Fed HW #7s

[puppy]

Pretty new to the 20 ga. craze, I normally carry a BPS 10 ga. with Nitro's but I have a old 20 ga. 870 express with 26" barrel and a Lohman extended turkey choke (no idea on constriction) that I bought 15 yrs. ago so my younger cousin could go turkey hunting with me. It never impressed me with lead loads but I kept reading about Fed. HW #7s and had to give them a try. I will say I was pleasantly surprised by the pattern, 197 in the 10" at 40 yds.

Just saw this post I made last year, I ended up killing 2 of my 4 birds with the 20 ga. Shot one at 49 yds. to test effectiveness of the HW #7s and the other at 52 yds. after one of my 6 yo twin daughters spooked it and it was walking away quickly. I still love my 10 ga with Nitro's but man do I ever like carrying the 20 up and down the hills here in East Tennessee.
