[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1545355, member: 99718"] I have a Mossberg 3&1/2" pump and have tried hevi - shot, Winchester XR loads and Remington turkey loads and others ! The best pattern I get is with Federal flight control turkey loads,2oz #5 shot ! I can get 10 hits or more every time in the bones of the turkey head target at 50 yards and many other secondary hits ! I will only shot to a distance that I can consistently have 10 bone hits as that is what anchors a turkey ! I could kill some at 60yards but I don't have 10 good hits every shot so I rely on my calling and set up to get them 50 yards or closer ! I have a red dot scope and when they are inside 50 yards the red dot on their head has smoked them every time so far ! Have never crippled a bird with this set up and using those guidelines ! All shells shot different in different guns and chock restrictions, you just have to try the different kinds as I did to find the best combination ! I tried 3 different chock tubes also ! Some may wonder why I don't use the 2&1/4 oz shells, it's simple there are holes in my pattern when I tried them, as I said I tried many brands and different loads ! Federal came out on top for me ! I will not try anything new that comes along because I know what my setup can do and I love it ! [/QUOTE]
