Give it a try and you will be astounded by the results. I have a buddy who shoots a Browning Silver, 12 ga, with .665 Indian Creek Choke, and the 3 1/2 Hevi Shot magnum blends. He killed a turkey at 63 yards stone cold dead last weekend. Not condoning a shot at that distance, he misjudged it, but with that set up , a shot like that is possible.

I shoot a Browning Silver, 12 ga, .665 Indian Creek Choke with the 3 1/2" , 2 1/4 oz, 6 shot and i get 196 pellets in 10" circle at 40 yards, 40 in the head/neck area...
