i shoot rem nitro #5 , 3" shells. 1 7/8 oz shot. i use a primos jelly head choke. i killed a turkey at 60 yds last year. althogh i did misjudge my yardage and would have never shot had i realized how far away it was. i was layin on my belly in an open field and he was on a mission right behind a hen and i knew he wasnt coming any closer.
