Title: 7.5 lead?

Saying you can get 100 in a 10" every time, at what distance would you stop using 7.5 lead out of a .410?

I agree with Spuriosity.  See what range you can get the 100 in the 10, keep that as your max range, and go forth slaying turkeys.

I know without a doubt that  7.5 lead shot will kill a turkey @ 35+ yds. I've done it and seen it done several times.

This Kansas Rio fell to a load of 7.5 Remington express from my 16ga @ app 36yds.
