recommended by a custom turkey call builder ,cheap to but my next load would be x123mt5 Winchesters. I have a 3.5" gun i want to use but i got to get a longer barrel for it.
Hevi Shot is a bit more expensive, so I use cheap bird shot to get everything where it needs to be then just take one or 2 shots with the hevi 13s on paper. The rest are for the field. For the time and money put into the sport other than shells, I want a pattern that can perform when I need it to. Also, I don't know how big of a barrel you have in your 3.5" gun, but I'm shooting an 835 with a 20" barrel with 3.5" loads and am putting better than 190 pellets into a 10" circle @ 40 yards.
