Best load for Franchi i12?
Hi, this is the first year I will be turkey hunting with my shotgun, a Franchi i12. Last year I used a bow but never got a bird. Does anyone have experience knowing which 3" load patterns best with this gun. I will try patterning a few loads myself, but I thought that by posting on here first I might save a little money on shells (poor college student!). Thanks for any and all advice. Farthest shot distance will probably be about 40yds.
First will the gun shoot 2 3/4 in?
Some times 2 3/4 in will patteren better than 3 in.
I also like # 6s over the # 4s, and 5s.
# 4s, and 5s are bigger, and hit harder a little, but have less pellets.
And the # 6s have a lot more pellets.
More pellets = more more to hit the mark with.
I hope this helps.
JMHO
