What is your favorite 12 ga turkey ammo?

... and where are you buying it?

i use  remington 12 gauge 3" nitro turkey mag #5 max dram 2oz shot...bought 3 or 4 boxes of it some time ago...it seems to last a long time. not exactly out plinking with turkey loads. i haven't bought any in a few years.

I like Winchester Xtended 3.5 #6 at Midway USA.  The best is www.nitrocompany.com, shell H517 (4x5x7.5) for my remington.  The non-toxic loads are a little pricey but IMO far superior.  Too get your's money worth invest in good aftermarket choke.  Less than 35-40 yds most loads (lead or non-toxic) does the trick.
