Strut10 Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Re: 4\'s........5\'s......or 6\'s Out of my 5 turkey guns, I use #6's in four of them and #5's in one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maytom Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Re: 4\'s........5\'s......or 6\'s I'm a huge fan of #5 shot (lead), it hits harder than #6 and patterns better than #4's. So with that being said, with the new hevishot now out on the market, I now would go with #6 shot, since it will hit harder than #5 lead and pattern a heck of a lot better too due to the increased number of shot in the shell. Sort of like the best of both worlds!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddhunter Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Re: 4\'s........5\'s......or 6\'s I use the Remington 4x6 Duplex load in 3 inch. I've tried others but these hold the best pattern in my 870 Express with a Tru Glo superfull turkey choke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Re: 4\'s........5\'s......or 6\'s Winchester Supreme HV 3.5" #6 work best from my gun and choke. But you have to pattern yours to see what works the best from your gun and choke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Re: 4\'s........5\'s......or 6\'s i have a quick question..actually may seem like a dumbquestion but i really don't know a whole lot about this stuff..this is what it says on the michigan DNR website "It is unlawful to use or carry any ammunition except shotgun shells loaded with No. 4 or smaller shot, or to use or carry loose shot larger than No. 4 for muzzleloading hunting."...this is under the General Rules part for turkey hunting....now does that mean i can't use #5 or #6 or are these numbers one of those things where its the total opposite? like the higher number the smaller the shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaCoyote Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Re: 4\'s........5\'s......or 6\'s 5 and 6 are smaller than 4 shot. The larger the number the smaller the shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
