Thanks for the responses. The ammo I've got on hand is:
Fiocchi Golden Pheasant 1 1/4oz. #6
Kent Ultimate Diamond 1 1/4oz. #5
Hornady Heavy Mag Turkey 1 3/8oz. #5
Would be open to getting something else but availability is currently limited. Hopefully I can make one of these 3 work!
Surely, SURELY you can somehow find a box of Winchester Longbeards somewhere...........
I've patterned a PILE of guns and chokes and shells in 10, 12 and 20 gauges. Other than the Longbeards, you're looking at 30-35 yards, max with lead in a 20. Additionally, the 3 shells you listed above (along with Remington Nitro's) are the very TOP of my list for stuff I'd shoot at crows and little else. None of the three (4 including the Remingtons) have kept pace with turkey load technology.
We're running the old skool Federal Heavy 7's in our 20's through .562-5" tubes.
