I bought a box of Remington Premier buffered turkey loads 3.5 in 4 shot. These are the best shells i' ve ever shot out of my 1187 at 18 steps it just makes one big hole in the turkey target head. Well yesterday morning i had the chance to take my fall bird and i did at what I am guessing close to 45 yds. I never had the confidence to shoot that far but I knew the gun and shells could do it so i gave it a try and she went right down. I just had to share this with you fellas and was wondering if any one else has ever used these shells. Good luck to everyone else still hunting this fall.

Congrats tky.Sounds like you got a good combo there.

Nice shot tky!I agree with Jim,sounds like you have a pretty effective combo there!congrats on your fall bird![8D]

Thanks guys, you wouldn' t beleive how HAPPY I am to finally have a combo like this!!!

I have the 1187 supermag and I use the Remington Hevi-shot 3" 1 5/8oz #6 and a Hevi-shot .665 choke.At 30 yards the pattern is the size of a sheet of notebook paper.At 40 yards it' s about 24" round.I know some people don' t like to use #6 but I have killed 12 turkeys ranging 15 to 60 yards with #6" s.The 60 yard shot was with the Hevi-shot Remington #6 it was stupid to shoot at that distance but I just got caught up in the heat of the moment and realize the distance.
