Turkey Ammo

[UltraRick]

What shells do you use for Turkey hunting? Maxblend has been recommended but WOW are they expensive.

We have always just used Remington Nitro Turkey #4 shot. Fairly inexpensive and always has done the job. Using it with a Primos Tightwad choke.

I picked some of these Winchester shells at Wal-Mart for about $6 a box.
Has anyone used them with success?

I use Winchester Supreme 3.5" #6 in my UltiMag w/ Kicks Gobblin' Thunder choke tube. It is what it likes.

Nitro turkey shells in a #5....good median between 4 and 6. Primos tightwad choke. That is my 870 setup. My mossberg 500 has extra full choke and Federal Mag Shock. That one kicks like a son of a gun since it is an older gun with the hard plastic recoil pad.

WW HV Supreme 3" # 4s... has 1 3/4 oz of copper plated shot are not too expensive and will flatten a tom at 55yds with my 22" Rem 1187 with Comp-n-Choke.. The 3.5 inch ammo just kicks too much for me to be worth the pain...A turkey at 50 yds is a long ways in a hunting situation. In my experience turkeys are usually in a killable range or not even close, so those big kickers as they say "kill on both ends" and are not needed.

I just found this rebate for the heavy shot stuff.

Just thought I would pass it along, with the high prices on ammo we need all the breaks we can get.
