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.

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! 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!!!

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 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.
