Rem 3 1/2" #4's out of my Remington 1187 SPS with a Rem Hevishot .660 choke tube is BRUTAL
I also carry an 870 Exp occasionally sporting HV 3" # 6's with a Rem Extended Turkey Tube which I like alot also.

My Remington 870 Super Mag likes both Federal Premium's with 2 oz. of #5s and Winchester HV #5s, both shot out of a Truglo .665 choke.
My newest "pet" is a Beretta AL391 that I picked up last fall. I put a .660 Rhino in it and tried Remington Hevi-shot #6s and the patterns absolutely floored me!! It blows anything I've ever shot out of the water!! Any bird within 50 yards is history. This gun will be going hunting with me from now on.

Ive shot Activ Penetrators in either 5s or the 4x6s for years out of all of my 12 ga turkey guns. They just shoot better than anything Ive ever shot. But Im about out of them and havent been able to find them for the last year or two. Dont know what Ill do when Im out

RE: favorite turkey load
My hunting buddies and I spent a small fortune last spring patterning different loads and chokes. The guns we shot were Benelli SBE, Winchester 1300, and Remington 870. It seemed that the Winchester High Velocity shells did best in very gun, no mater what choke and shot combination we tried.
