New Hornady turkey loads

Just patterned some of the new loads and results were only fair with IC choke.

Wouldn't you want a tighter choke for turkey?

Hornady says use ic chokes on these loads due to special wads.

I have not used the Hornady loads but I have used Federal Flight Control shells and they seem to do better in a IC or Modified choke.

I am going to use Remington Nitro 3 1/2 inch #4 shot this season with my Briley turkey choke. I have never hunted with them before but I got a couple of good patterns on the two test shells I shot. Might be just a fluke though.

I have used the 2 oz 3 inch winchester xx for years with good results,just thought I would try a new load.

Trying new loads is part of the fun to me. I like trying to find a new combination of load and choke that will put just a few more pellets in the pattern at 40 yards.

Agreed

Aha! I use the federal flite control buckshot with a IC choke!
