In 12 ga it was Hevishot 3.5 2.25 oz 6s until they decided to start playing with the loads and they lost their consistency.

In 20 ga it is the BIG20XL #9s! Just devastation!

+1 for Big 20XL, #9s.

+2, TSS is a game changer in turkey loads.  Carrying around a youth model 20ga has been a dream come true.

I have seen amazing results for the last 25 years or so with folks hand loading lead, nickel plated lead, copper plated lead and Hevi shot.  Amazing patterns that were far beyond factory shells at the time.  The new craze is TSS and 20guages. I have only shot factory loads and I haven't felt the need to hand load. Too much money and time to get into loading. Have shot some hand loads and the results were inconsistent. The factory loads produced now are far beyond what is needed to harvest turkeys and easy to purchase. Shooting 270's to 330's in a 10 @ 40 with Hevi 7's has me scratching my head why folks would need to hand load turkey shells other than producing 20guage patterns for youth and hunters unable to shoot a 12 gauge.

Cause we can!!!

My favorite load this year was 2.25 ounces of TSS 9's out of my 12. If I was shooting factory loads I'd go back to the Hevi 13 2.25 ounce 7's.
