[older042]

 

shot with a Remington 1100 a factory Remington extended .665 choke 30 yards  is this good enough ? 238 in a ten inch circle is this good enough? with a 2 3/4 kent diamond shot 1 5/8 oz  #6 shot

Looks like a sure fire turkey killer to me!! I like your choice of ammo: I have had great success with Kent in both 12 and 20 ga.

I'm not sure if it is a sure kill pattern on a Kodiak bear..

However, it will kill the CRAP out of any turkey that ever walked..

What is it you are hunting ?

turkey  never really got to hunt them much and everything I read or see about it is all 3" shells or bigger my gun will only take 2 3/4 just wanted to make sure it was adequate.

That's a good pattern and , applied to the head/neck region of a gobbler, will result in a dead turkey, at least out to and somewhat beyond the distance that you fired at that patterning target..

 

When I started hunting turkeys in the 1960s, 3 inch  magnum 12 gauge guns were just beginning to become popular... The  "standard" turkey gun at that time was a 2 3/4" full choke 12 gauge, but many hunters owned only one shotgun and used whatever they had,  often a 20 or 16 gauge with a modified choke.  My first fall turkey was killed with with a 12 gauge modified choke and regular high brass #4 shot in 1965. A few years later, I took my first spring gobbler with a side by side 20 gauge.  As long as the shot was taken within the effective range of the shotgun,  turkeys were killed with amazing regularity.

 

The simple minded creatures just hadn't LEARNED yet that it required  3" or 3.5 " magnum guns and $5 apiece shotshells to kill them.  Fortunately for them, today's turkeys are much more sophisticated, and refuse to succumb to the crude , outdated guns and ammo that used to be effective on them.

You mean you dont have to spend an arm and a leg on shells to get one? Thought that was common practice lol

older042, your pattern will be deadly in the turkey woods!

 

My brothers 1100 with XtraSuper full choke and 2 3/4 shells will dump a turkey out past 50Yds.

It IS  common practice, Scott, much to the DELIGHT of those folks who sell those hundred dollar choke tubes and $5 shotshells.....<<grin>>....

[TeeBugg]

Im good. Picked up ten shells for 12 bucks yesterday. Normally spend 9 or 10 but gotta try this flite control wad out!

As fishing lures catch fishermen....High priced choke tubes and designer ammo catch turkey hunters!
