I've got about 10 or 11 shells left myself!! I shoot the 3.5" #5's
That is the best firing load I've ever shot out of my gun. Will flat knock a bird down too!!
Really? I've been under the impression that turkeys have armor plating and can no longer be killed with lead.
Well I think Clark knows more than most folks on turkey loads. I think he also answered your question at Old Gobbler. The shell he cut open had an extra 51 pellets vs what a #6 load should have. That's a big difference.
I just shot a 3.5#6 through my 870. I got 294 with a 665 jelly head and 254 with a rem super full turkey choke. I cut one of the shells open just now and counted 495 shot. How many are they supposed to be in two ounces of copper plated 6's.
Less than that. I think for copper plated around 420-430.
Were they give or take all uniform?
This is another reason I think #5 is the way to go for longbeards
Should be around 450 for 2oz
Maybe the old 6's I cut open today are bigger than 6's.
