Default Federal Mag-shot turkey loads

I always use the Federal Mag loads. I find they shot excellent out of my gun. I wouldnt use anything else. Ive tried Remmington and Winchester and find the Federals are top of the line.

Every gun is different. Some like Winchester's, some like Remington, etc., your going to have to just try them out and see. Just becausea certain shell work's great in somebody's else's gun, doesn't mean that they will work great in yours. Choice of a choke tube comes into play here as well. Lot's a variables to work out to find the ultimate turkey shell/choke combo. Nothing like being at the pattern board to see for sure!!!

The Federal #6 is all I have used for years.I really like the new flight control wad.i did notice an improvement in the pattern with them.Like Maytom said,what shoots good outta my gun may not shoot well outta yours.

Hunter06 I shot them in my 870 last spring and they shot pretty good... One thing I will tell ya is to make sure you shoot a few threw your factory mod and full. Because those shells like a more open shoke

Nitro loads... then WInchester xtended range...... then Federals in my gun, they just don't shoot well out of it. I missed a bird at 35 yards one fay so that basically ended it for the federals.
