Thanks Guys

P.S. i dont know about you guys but i am gettin soooooo pumped for monday to roll around... Gobble Gobble Gobble... BANG!!!!!!

TTT, I'm shooting a model 12 same size as you & I'm going with the #4's. They came in a 5 pack & say turkey loads on em. I'll use 1 shot to pattern & still have 4 years worth of ammo. You know, 1 shot kills. The ol lady doesn't like me practicing my call in the garage either. Good luck!

hey teyler I am using number 4 shot also but in a three and a half inch mag.

where abouts you going, I am headed up to kettle and colville this coming friday so we can get there a little befor opening day. Just like you I cant wait either.

Good luck Hope to see some turk pics as well show some myself.

Me and Gamehunter are goin to hunt kettle but we can leave til saturday . if its to packed were gonna go to a different site. we'll be in a F-150 on 36's you'll know if you see the truck.

Tyler, have you thought of using the Hevi-shot #4?
Just a reminder that the pattern is much tighter than lead and the down range energy is BIG. Poor turkey!......Save a drumstick for me.

If you can stiil find them Remington made a 4x6 duplex load with buffer. I'm shooting the same load in a Mossberg 500 30' xfull and getting 15-19 vital hits at 40 yds. Can't find the loads here anymore, so we load our own with 4x6 tungsten and buffer it.
