I know every gun shoots different with different types of ammo, but I'd like to get some ideas on ammo to use. I just got a 835 w/24" bbl and have the accumag X-full choke. What shot is recommended? I like to limit my shots to 35yds or less. I don't have very many buddies that turkey hunt to share ammo with, so the expence will pretty much be mine. I'm still new to turkey hunting, this will be my 3rd year, but I've been hooked since the first trip and I've bagged 3 already.

I've tried a number of brands of ammo and have found the Wincesther Turkey 2oz loads in a # 5 work well in my gun. They seem to be an easy load to find aswell...BT

I've had real good luck with Winchester loads in my Browning. 4's and 6's pattern very well, on the order of 25 -30 hits in the head/neck at 40 yd. but the 5's are inconsistant for me.

My wife shoots 1 3/4 oz. Remington Hevi shot in 6's through her 835 with the factory choke and it performs really well and the recoil isn't as bad as the heavier lead loads.

Thanks to all for the info. I've been out of pocket a few days and haven't had a chance to respond. Happy new year to all and I hope the spring goes well for all of you.
