Does anybody use #5 shot. I got good results at 40 yds, but was wondering what range this would be good for. Shooting them close is my preferance, but is 50 too far with this load?
I was patterning my new turkey swatter last week with Hevi-Shot #5 in a 3".
I can't remember ever using anything but #4's in a 12 before. Have used 6's in a 20, but never shot a bird much over 30yds with that.
I patterned the 12 #5's @ 40 and had a great, pattern with no holes of any kind, and 36 bb's in the head/neck. Will this cut the mustard @ 50yds if I need to?
