Iwas just woundering what everyones opinion was with who makes the best turkey load between the big 3. Federal, Winchester and Remington.

Neither
Nitro Ray in Mountain Grove, MO makes the most lethal Turkey loads available. Period, hands down, end of story.

RE: Who do you think makes the best turkey loads?
The reason why i was asking about the big 3 is becasue those are the easyest to get my hands on and also the cheapest. Don't get me wrong i try not to skimp on my hunt gear at all but i think it is out rages to pay that much for shells when my longest shot is 45 yards. I hunt with a 870 super mag. Last Year i killed my bird with Remington Nitros3 1/2" lead shot #4 with the remington super full turkey choke and it patterned ok I killed the bird at 42yards no problem. This year i picked up a Truglo Gobble stopper Xtreme choke tube ported and just want to try some different loads and those loads from last year and see if my patterned improved. I know about expensive ammo for deer hunting I hunt in shotgun country and i pay $16.00 for sabot slugs 5 shells in a box. But this year i have a addition to my family a new born son so money is kinda tight right now.

RE: Who do you think makes the best turkey loads?
they keep trying to come out with something to sell...i use winchester 3.5 high velocity 5's with a kicks choke...i've killed turkeys past 60 yards for 5 years, and haven't thought about trying anything new...save your money..a regular lead 3" shell will kill a turkey out to 40 yards...
