Also depends on your shell size. Some people use a 3 inch shell when turkey hunting with a 12 ga. and those are good out to about 40 yards. I think most people, though, use a 3 1/2 inch shell and those are good out to about 60. I don't think I would be that comfortable shooting that far, but some people are.
Please do not get mislead by the 3 1/2 in shell. This shell is not setup to improved your distance. The 3 1/2 was designed to allow a hunter to get dencity of a 10 gauge load in a eithical range as in 20,30,40 yards.
As stated above, keeping your shots in a proper range of how your gun shoots is a better thing to work with. Yes some of us tend to streach that range to some degree , but by only very limited yards over a tremendous distance that is more common spoken as chance shooting.
Always use the 20,30,40 yards and enjoy the hunting over shooting...
AMEN!!!!!!!Great advice...
