does anyone...

use Winchester High velocity copper plated turkey loads?...Mr B bought me some 20ga. 3" 1 3/4 oz #5's?

 

I've never used anything but Remington Nitros 3"mags in #5's

1 3/4 oz of 5"s...you sure?  Heaviest load I have seen is 1 5/16.  Whatever, Winchester makes some good turkey loads...use them!

[growalot]

That might be Early...I looked at it pretty fast when they arrived....hhmmm....Well I went to check...he snatched them up and put them away some place..lol...His 12's are still out 1 7/8 oz on those

 

They do claim to be a faster load...1200 vs 1100 something on the Nitros

Performance will depend on your choke and gun. You'll have to test it to see.

 

I've taken a bird or two with each.

If the weather ever breaks I have my shoot n see turkey head targets out and at the ready!

100 or 200 FPS at the muzzle isn't  going to make much difference in energy or penetration  at hunting ranges.. The density and uniformity of the pattern is what counts and  the only way to learn that is to pattern the load. 

 

To answer, your question I have used The Winchester loads and they perform well in my guns as do the Federal turkey loads...I patterned some Rem Nitro mags years ago and they did not pattern as well as the Wins or Feds  IN MY GUN, so I have stuck  with what works..

I use the Winchester Supreme copper plated 12g a. # 4 or 5. I like them a lot. Nice constant patterns, but thats my gun.

x2...the only way to see is to shoot your gun and see how they perform out of your setup. My dad and I both shoot a Remington 870 with different chokes. Winchesters pattern better on my setup then his.

All depends on your setup. Pattern your gun with multiple shells, size, and shot size

Remington 870

 

I have always had a much better pattern with the Rem Premium 3" #5 than the Winchester Supremes #5, each gun is different, haven't tried the Rem Nitros

[growalot]

the Nitros have done very well out of my Mossburg turkey gun...this weekend I'll get in some test shots with the new load
