Recommended loads on NEF Turkey 12ga?
« on: March 08, 2004, 08:47:55 AM »
Hello,
I just bought my first NEF/HR gun. It is a 12 ga. Turkey model with 24" barrel and fixed full choke.  Does anyone else here have this setup and if so, what turkey loads have you found pattern best. Thanks in advance.

i have a NWTF 12ga with a fixed 24inch full choke, now i had my force cone done, but in general even before it was done, the barrel liked smaller shot, IE: #5 or #6. i like the hevishot about the best in #6 turkey loads. but the federal #6 turkey loads 2.75 inch where my favorite lead load. but the hevishot added 10yrds to my range.  :)  :)  :)  :)  :)  you may have to try a few different loads to find the one your gun likes the best, but those are what worked the best for me.

Mine pattern well with winchester supremes 3 1/2 in. #4 and #5 shot. :-D  It didn't do too bad with 2 3/4 #6 shot.
