Best Turkey Loads
#13
I love the Nitros. They are 8 bucks apiece but shoot like a dream. I also like the Federal Heavyweights (I forget the real name but they are the high dollar Federals).
If you go to the Nitros Shotshells website you will find a page that gives the owners preferred shell/choke/gun combination. If I remember correctly the owner has tried every combination and can tell you which shells shoot best.
You may be able to talk to a local gun shop into buying some. One of the places near me sells them individually. They also have different size loads/shot so you can try a few different ones. I buy them as I need them and use the cheaper shells as a backer for the Nitros. I will load up 1 Nitro and put two cheaper shells behind it so I don't waste the high dollar suckers on follow up shots.

Lol..if you need follow up shots with Nitros, you need to check your POI, change chokes, or estimate thier distance more accurately.

Ain't that the truth. I missed one with Nitros that was completely on me. Bird was in strut standing behind a log. When I target my bird I like to set his head on top of my bead. I did this but wasn't thinking about him being in strut or behind the log. I filled the log full of Hevi-shot. He was about 40 yards but had gone so far to my left that I wouldn't be able to turn any further and still shoot.
The only other one I missed I killed a nice 3 year old........sapling that is.
