DON'T SHOOT a duck load through your turkey choke, your face will thank you for it
Quote from: CedarPants on October 26, 2012, 12:27:14 PMDON'T SHOOT a duck load through your turkey choke, your face will thank you for it I was not planning on that! But now I'm curious what would happen?
Since you shooting steel, use a modified or improved cylinder choke. Steel tends to hold a tighter pattern than the old lead loads.Shot size: #2 or #3 is what I use.Shell size: Depends on what you doing. Pass shooting, decoying, of jump shooting. 2 3/4" shells will handle a lot. If you think you need more range go for the 3" or 3 1/2" shells.Brands: lots of good shells out there. Winchester, Kent, etc... Take your pick.
Don't bother with 3 1/2" shells, if you are going to hit the bird, you'll hit with 2 3/4 just as well IMHO.
We will hunt over decoys. Thanks for al the suggestions. So, a Modified choke and 3" kent #2 or #3 and I am good to go?
