Guest DaHunter Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Hey everyone i just bought a browning 10 gold turkey gun. Its semi-auto and currently i have the x-full that came with it, i was wondering what choke and load you are shooting. If you could tell me your results at 40+ yards that would be great. Anyways tomorrow i get too try it out for the first time and i have 3 different shells i am trying, i will be looking foreward too hearing from you. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Re: Turkey choke/load combo Browning 10 Welcome to the group. There is a lot of good information here. After talking with Nitro Company and testing their recommendations, I have complete faith in them, and their products. They do a lot of testing and produce the best shotgun ammo available. I am not saying you will not find adequate performance with another combination, but this will be if not the best, one of the top combinations. They are expensive, but I don't shoot that many turkey loads every year. A box of ammo will last me many many seasons. Check them out.

huntn4bucks Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Re: Turkey choke/load combo Browning 10 Welcome to the forums! You're doing the right thing by selecting several different loads to pattern with. I do not shoot a Browning 10 so I'll be interested in the results of your first shoot. Best of luck!

Guest DaHunter Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Re: Turkey choke/load combo Browning 10 Well i couldnt be more happy with a factory choke tube. I shot at 40 yards tonight and if it were a turkey it was roasted. Yes i have been following nitro companys work and am gald you mentioned them, i believe i will send out for a box of them. Do you shoot the hevi shot or the economys? Thanks for the info its greatly appreciated. Does anyone go with a lower constriction than recomended?

Strut10 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Re: Turkey choke/load combo Browning 10 DaHunter........ I shoot a Browning BPS 10 ga. I have not tried the Nitros. I've heard nothing but good about them. They're just a bit rich for my blood. I've found the Winchester Supreme HV chucking 2 oz. of #6 shot is a ferocious load from my BPS. I first used the Browning Invector full choke tube. Then the Browning ported, extended turkey tube. Then 3 different Colonial Arms tube blanks machined to varying constrictions of my specification. Then I got a Comp-N-Choke XXX-Full tube.................. ....................end of my search. The Comp-N-Choke tube, coupled with the Winchester HV's is a horrible thing to do to a turkey. Period. I have taken gobblers at 40 yards that could reasonably pass for being shot at half that distance by looking at the damage to the head/neck. It's one nasty dude. Kicks like a son-of-a................ it's bad. But you should avoid a good bit of that with the Gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaHunter Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Re: Turkey choke/load combo Browning 10 Strut, what constriction is your comp n choke? I am looking too throw an awsome pattern, for some reason. Yeah being semi it shoots fairly easy on the shoulder just make sure your holding on!!!. I cant wait too test it with goose loads and of course slugs!...it will be interesting. Has anyone shot slugs through one? Its probably not a good idea but i want too try it.
