Heavy and slow VS lighter and fast?

[BT]

Which do you perfer. a shell loaded with more shot and slower.
Or a lighter payload at a higher volicity?

I like and both of my guns like federal 3in mag #4 2oz loads.
but it shoots nearly as good with federal 3in. #5 1 3/4 oz loads.

The ones i have killed with the #4 loads droped like a ton of briks.

Faster and less .....gives me a bit more added yardage accuracy if needed and offers more punch to the pellet.

Also the reason I went to #4s. Have put away my 3.5 inch and only hunt the 12 ga 3 inch.

Check out www.nitrocompany.com There's some info on a page about energy and velocity required to cleanly kill a turkey. Great info and even better shells.

#4's. The more lead the better.

Basically, I guess it would depend on what patterns best out of your gun.

I shoot kind of in the middle. I use 3 1/2" Hevi-Shot magnum #5's with 2 ounces of shot. I think heavier is better because it hits harder.
