WIN LB XR 5 or 6? Remi VM Trulock

[fletcher]

I don't intentionally take overly long shots, is it best to go denser pattern with size 6?  I know this is buffered lead but i have not had a problem killing birds hit in the face with lead.  Just wondering I have used both sizes about a horse a piece.
Remi Versamax 3.5" shells.  Thinking about trulock shot brand and size specific choke that is why I am asking for input.

Thanks good luck

It's all about the terminal energy transferred to the target, in this case, the head/neck of the turkey. If you can put a swarm of #6 shot on the target, that will deliver all of the energy, killing power, that you need. Having used 3" WLB shells with 1.75 oz of #6 shot in competition for the last few years, I can testify to the ability of that shell to do just that. I have seen some absolutely amazing patterns, numbers that we would not have even thought of just a few years ago. Chokes in the 6.50 - 6.55 exit diameter have been best.

Thanks,
