I tried out #5 Winchester Supreme Extended Range. Remington 870 Express, Super Full Choke.
I used thos Green and black Hi Viz targets. I shot from 30 yards and never counted inside of head, It was a mess. I counted outside of the head and only 8 were outside. I used #5's 3" I love em did a 70 yard shot and had16 in the head

I use an 870 3.5 super mag. with Rem. hevi-shot no. 5's. I use an undertaker ext.full turkey choke tube. It has an awesome pattern. I have taken turkeys over 50 yards.
