The reason why i was asking about the big 3 is becasue those are the easyest to get my hands on and also the cheapest. Don't get me wrong i try not to skimp on my hunt gear at all but i think it is out rages to pay that much for shells when my longest shot is 45 yards. I hunt with a 870 super mag. Last Year i killed my bird with Remington Nitros3 1/2" lead shot #4 with the remington super full turkey choke and it patterned ok I killed the bird at 42yards no problem. This year i picked up a Truglo Gobble stopper Xtreme choke tube ported and just want to try some different loads and those loads from last year and see if my patterned improved. I know about expensive ammo for deer hunting I hunt in shotgun country and i pay $16.00 for sabot slugs 5 shells in a box. But this year i have a addition to my family a new born son so money is kinda tight right now.
