RangerClay Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I started hunting turkeys with 4's but I like 5's better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 so far my gun/choke combo likes #5's the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Colorado Bob Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 4's for me !! CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluelund79 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 5's in 3" for my Mossberg 935 6's in 3" for my Remington 870 w/turkey barrel Built the Remy for turkeys, and killed my bird with the backup gun this year-go figure....

Strut10 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 My absolute favorite is #2's. But since they're not legal anymore, I've become quite fond of them swarming #6's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKYhunter Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 None of the above. I favor #7 Nitro Hevi Shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckslayer Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 I like #6 because I use a 20 gauge rem. 870, 3 inch mags. If I used a 12 ga, it would be 5s prob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Not sure why, but I either have 10 yard shots or 40 yards. I hit a tom with #6 some years back at 40 yards, rolled him, he got up and vanished into may apples. I went to 4's because of this and haven't missed since. I'll stick with 4's unless I start missing. I use a 12G, 3inch mag. Remington 1100 semiauto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 I started hunting turkeys with 4's but I like 5's better. Same here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maytom Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 In a lead pellet, #5's are my favorite as well. Mainly because of better patterns than #4's and they hit harder than #6's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TennesseeTurkey Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 #5 3 in. for me works great but then again any shot works great at 5 steps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
