Default RE: Loads for turkey?

ORIGINAL: johnl

rebel just wondering what is your max range with your 20 ?
Idon't mean to hijack this thread but my son has a 20 and it is ok out to 30 yards with a 2 3/4 5 shot I'm thinking 3 inch 6 shot would be better any input ?
John,,tough to say until you pattern them.I can tell you if you were to take a load of ounce & half 5's and ounce & half 6's you'd have somewhere in the nieghborhood of about 88 more pellets mixed in with the 6's because of the smaller diameter of the shotsize even though there both once & half loads.But with that said it still doesn't mean the 6's having more pellets in the load will have a higher pattern percentage than the 5's,plus the 6's as lethal as they are dont carry the knockdown power via(down range energy)that 4's and 5's have particularly on shots over 40 yards....Bob
