loads for turkey
« on: March 24, 2012, 11:41:57 AM »
I have a NEF 20 gauge survivor with a mod choke barrel. What shells work good with the mod choke for turkeys?

I had the best patterns with 3" Remington Wingmaster #4 HD loads out of my 20 gauge Pardner with Mod choke. They're expensive but work great.

Went and tested some Remington and Winchester 3" turkey shells in my survivor today. Did not pattern as well as I hoped but it was fun to shoot. May just send it out and have choke tubes put in it. They had some Federals with Flight Control wads at GM the counter guy said would work.

 Don't put to much stock in what the counter guy says, they for the most part don't have a clue.  ;)
