Dakota Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I know I'm just going to get the usual "don't know till you try it out" responses, but was just wondering. I stopped by Scheels the other day and picked up a box of Federal Premium Mag Shok Flight Control 12 ga. 3.5" 2.25oz. #6 shot. I'm waiting till it is a little warmer out before I pattern my 835, I've already patterned it with pheasant loads but need to go out with my turkey loads. Anyone have any experience shooting these? Thanks! Only 29 more days till a couple of Merriams flop in Wyoming and South Dakota! Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesse8953 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I tried the 3 inch #5. got 5 to 11 brain and spine kill shots at 45 yards shooting at a turkey target. The winchester 3 1/2 got about the same.I would like to try the fed. in 3 1/2 to see how they do.Gander mt. didn't have the 3 1/2 when I was there.

Rem308 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I'm all packed up and going to the range tomorrow to test this out. I have heard some say that the flight control works better with a less-restrictive choke, such as a modified. I have also heard just the opposite. I'm going to shoot a fresh target w/ my turkey 'super-full' choke, then swap to 'modified'. We'll see tomorow, and I'll post w/ results.

Rem308 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I went to the range earlier today and I'm thoroughly impressed with the Federal Premium Turkey Loads with "FliteControl". Here's a link that will show some photos of the patterns. I will have my shotgun loaded with these. http://www.realtree.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84059 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
