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...
The bigger the shell, the more bb's, so you "fill" the shooting space more...that was what I was trying to get at. Probably not a good choice of wording on the first post.
