Pygmy Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 G-Man... What do you use for an over shot wad..??.. Dinsdale...I have hunted a lot with the 28 gauge, a Spanish made S/S choked mod/full, and a Rem Sportsman 48 autoloader with a Cutts Compensator... As I said before, they killed crows, small game and upland birds as well as the 20 gauge, for all practical purposes... They are nice light, fast handling guns...Ammo is damned expensive, though..

G-Man Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Pygmy, my overshot wad is a cardboard punch. i get a lot better pattern using the shot cup rather than the feltwad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pygmy Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Probably the shot cup keeps the shot from deforming as much, along with the buffer you use... Do you use a poly buffer..??.. Years ago when shot buffering first became common, some reloaders used flour as a buffer.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contender Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Nothing fancy here. Remington 870. extra full Remington choke and 3" Remington Turkey loads #6 shot. Does well out to 40 yards but I like them at 25 yards or so. Tip of the day: Always paint the crimp in your turkey loads black. You dont want that Big Boy looking up the barrel and seeing your bright green or red shot shell!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpteach Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Browning 16 gauge, using #6's with Improved Cylinder (poly-choke)... good to around 30 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurkeyHuntPA_NY Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Remintong 870 Express. Madd Max Choke Tube. 3 in Winchester Xtended Range #6 shot turkey loads. Does some major damage up to 40 yards... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mzlhunter Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 3in Hevi Shot Magnum Blend/ Primos Jellyhead choke out of a Bennelli Nova. It patterns well way past 40 yds but i don't shoot any further than 40yds. Turkey hunting has and will always be a 40yds and in sport to me. My backup gun is a Remington 870, Remington Extra full choke and Federal Flite control #5's. I used that set up for years, had to retire it as it had to many "kill" notches in the stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
