[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 1437673, member: 95733"] My set up is a Remington 12ga 3.5" Supermag 24" long with Remington A/M Extra full turkey choke shooting 12ga 3.5" Winchester LB/XR either #4's or #5's the fives actually pattern better so much that they are my load of choice, but I only have a picture of a 50 yard target using #4 shot. IIRC at 50 yards the Winchester LB/XR's put about 15-20 pellets on average in the turkeys head. The #5 put again IIRC at least 25. That's why I went with the #5's. With this level of performance I just don't see how the IMHO, outrageously expensive heavy shot turkey shells are worth it. I am of the opinion you need at least 10 pellets CONSISTANTLY in a turkeys head/neck area to ensure a quick kill, I'm getting at least 2x that at 50 yards with the#4's and over 2x that with the #5 W/LB/XR's.[ATTACH=full]97246[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
