turkey chokes and shells
I have been using a Remington 870 12 ga with comp n choke .655 and Winchester 3.5" #5, 2oz load. It delivers a pretty good pattern. I recently bought a Beretta al391 12 ga for wing shooting but have toyed with the idea of using it on turkeys. I am interested in the hevi shot as well as some other loads. Looking at a few options. I am a little confused on what chokes work with hevi 13 and Winchester longbeard xr. Beretta shoots 3" shells or less.
1. Use 870 with comp n choke using Winchester 3.5' #5's like before.
2. Buy choke compatible with hevi shot for 870.
3. Buy choke compatible with hevi for beretta.
If anyone has used combinations of chokes and loads of hevi, Winchester longbears xr, and regular Winchester #5's give me your opinion. I know the 870 will shoot 3.5" but not sure if it is much better than another load in 3". The beretta would have less recoil and allow for quicker follow up shots. I know the cheapest thing to do is just buy some more Winchester #5 2oz load since I have experience with them. Other load recommendations are good too.
