My favorite load out of my gold 10 is winchester HV 2oz of 5's out of truglo choke. I get great patters out to 50 yards. Getting ready to buy a kick's for my m1. Will probably pattern 5's and 6's out of it.

I like 3 different loads, Win 5's, Rem Hevi-shot 5's, and Nitro 4X5X7's hevi-shot all 3 1/2".

Remmington Premier Magnums - both #5 & #6 shot - pattern
the best from my Benelli Montefeltro/12 ga. Patterns well out to
40 yds, though 30 is best[:-].

My 870 w/ a Kick's .665 choke really likes Winchester Supreme HV #5's. It's 30 yd. patterns are a gobblers worst nightmare!:D And that's good because I shoot most of my turkeys at 30 yds. or less, mostly less!

I shoot my own recipe out of my Ithica Mag 10...2 1/4oz of lead #4's!Travels at a convenient 1268 fps and at 35 yards will turn the biggest of gobblers cranium into jello!That goes right along with bobcats and coyote skulls too!!!:)

Winchester HV #5s, 3.5" in 870 supermag.
Rem Hevi-shot HV #5s, 3.5" in Franchi 912variomax. Undertaker chokes.

My Mossberg 835 likes the Winchester hi-velocity #6 shot the best.I used the Remington hevi-shot #5's last year.The pattern wasn't quite as good but the penetration was much better.Planning on trying the hevi-shot in #6 this year.

My Browning Gold with a TruGlo Strut Stopper choke patterns best with,at least with the loads I have tryed, Winchester #5 3" out to 40 yards.

My winchester 1300 like two different choke load combos. One is the tru glo strut stopper and federal #5 shot 2 oz 3" turkey load and the other is the H.S. Undertaker with federal #6 2 oz 3 " turkey load. Both give devestation patterns out to 40 yards.
