Default RE: New Federal Turkey Loads

Jolly.............

Actually the Federal loads feature a shot matrix that is 37% denser than lead and rounder and more ballistically efficient than hevishot, which tends to be odd shaped...It also uses a new wad which is supposed to make the load even more effective ...You can get lead shot loads with this same load also...

All the major manufacturers seem to be on the "super load" bandwagon... I'm wondering where it all is leading....Do we really need or WANT shotshells that will allow us to kill turkey at extreme ranges..?? I kind of like the idea of getting them within 40-45 yards myself and making a clean kill..We've had loads that are capable of doing that for years..

Oh well, I don't mean to criticize the other guy's sport, as long he makes a clean and responsible kill... Nobody's forcing me to use the new shells or to take shots at any range longer than I prefer... Call me old fashioned..I'll just keep calling 'em in close and killing 'em with shells that cost half the money of the new "super loads"...
