Wow!  Buy them all up.  You are still going to have high #s with that at 40.  Better than many htl loads.

its a Remington 1100 with a polished 28". 29" with the choke vent rib barrel front bead with a rear peep sight and a factory Remington .665 turkey choke I could never get any patterns close to this until I found the kent #6's :turkey2:

this is the gun throwing the pattern. I use to use High Velocity loads and got nothing close to what I get now. upped the payload and slowed it down a little and had great results (http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa442/older042/001-1_zpse2adafd7.jpg) (http://s1198.photobucket.com/user/older042/media/001-1_zpse2adafd7.jpg.html)

I got some 3inch loads in the 5 shot,my newengland 12 ga. loves them at 40 yards it puts 19 in the brain and spine of a turkey target ,I heard the 6's are almost as big as a 5, going to try them,a friend of mne uses the 4 shot in his and ha killed every turkey he has shot.I use hevi shot and heavy weights bit at the cost I can get a box of 10 shells for the price of one HVY shell.
