I use them in my 870 super mag with a "Jelly Head " choke and get my best patterns with it.Ius #5 shot but this year I'm going to try the hevi-weight w/flight control.
I had better patterns from the old regular federal shells out of my 870. One word of caution you may want to try a more open choke. A regular full choke gave me a better pattern with them than an extra full did.
Flight control shells are a definite necessity to your turkey arsenal. In the beginning of last season I used the Heavyweight # 7's and after shooting a box of them I went to the heavyweight # 6's through my browning gold, I got an amazingly tight group. I've shot the extended by Winchester and the remington heavyweight and by far Federal was my number one shell with 75 + pellets in head area at 40 yards. I'm using the choke that came with my browning gold NWTF 12 ga. Hope this helps.[/align]

Thanks for the info, I'll have to pattern the standard full choke against the x-full. I suspest the x-full may hamper the flight control wad from smoothly leaving the barrel.
i used them last year in my 870. i dropped a bird at about 50 yards(i misjudged the distance). i use and extra-full and have had great results.
