I will be using 3 inch Remington Premier Magnum Turkey Loads loaded to the Max. in number 5 shot. Unless they do not pattern very good then I will go back Winchester Supreme # 6 shot. I decided to try and switch because I picked up one heck of a deal on them. I picked up a box of 10 for $8.99 regular $15.17 so I bought all they had which was not very much as they were going off the shelf fast. Last year a warden that was checking me out told me that #6 shot was to lite.. I laughed at him and told him I had just shot and tagged one yesterday and it did pretty good. Besides that the law here states shot sizes 4 threw 6 were only allowed turkey hunting.
