I use just the plain old winchester supremes, they are a little cheaper then some of the other loads mentioned here which is important to me (i'm a student and can't afford $50 per box shells haha). They have patterned great out of every gun i've used, including my 870. I noticed federal has this new Black Cloud ammo out for waterfowl, with new pellets "Unlike standard round steel pellets, FliteStopper pellets have a sharp cut-on-contact surface that produces bird-slaying wound channels unlike anything you've seen before." (quoted from their little blurb on Cabela's.com) that seem like they would be pretty devestating on turkeys, assuming they made them in turkey shot sizes. just a thought..
