So that is closer than the described distance you mentioned.
I just feel the energy would not be there over that distance.
And who is to say that you are going to get that bird within your kill distance? My .02 cents.
Second , I believe the young lad was shooting #6. The thread was not about #7 shot but rather was brought up when Nitro ammo was referred in a reply.
As for killing turkeys with #7 I have to stand up and say they do drop them as good as #6 as I have done it myself a couple times.
I'm thinking you have got mixed up with my quoted thread here...
