California is going to require non-lead ammo for upland game, including turkeys after July, 2016. (Please no CA bashing responses, you'd be preaching to the choir). https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/hunting/nonlead-ammunitionI will be forced to stop using my beloved Winchester 2oz lead loads and use non-lead. I have a Mossberg 3" 12 ga. I was thinking maybe Hevi-shot Hevi-13 in #6 or 7, but am open to other suggestions. I have the following turkey chokes: Mossberg internal Xtra-full, Mossberg external ported X-factor, and a Star Dot XF (.669). At what Hevi shot costs I'd like to avoid extensive choke testing. Any recommendations?

If you can find someone with the Winchester Elite ammo which is bismuth get it if you can from them. My Daughter and I are saving ours and using the Long Beard until this stupid law takes effect. By the way, if anyone has any they would like to get rid of I'm in the market.

No, bismuth got to expensive so they discontinued it.

Federal Heavyweight #7s. You will probably have sufficient results with the plain modified or full chokes; even with the low recoil version. If you want a specialty choke, contact Trulock. They have a choke for that specifically, and will swap chokes out to help you get the right one for your gun.

No idea. There's more to it than e.d. anyhow.
