got most of the lead for so cheap I couldnt pass them up and if the revolution comes the 10ga rounds are just back up to the 10,000 I got for the AR.

Can never have to many. Years ago( like 30) I hunted with a 3" shell that had 2 1/4 oz of nickel plated shot. They shot very well for me. Well low and behold production was stopped and they became like hens teeth. So now when I find something that shoots well, I stock up.
I just counted what I have

3 10 count boxes of 3" #7 Federal HWT

I love it, glad to know I'm not alone in my addiction of turkey chokes that I don't need and ammo that I don't need. I just enjoy patterning new ammo and reading about everyone else's results compared to mine.

Enough TSS #9 shot and components to load a little over 100 rounds for my 20 gauges.
In the process of selling some to fund more TSS. Already sold 19 boxes of Federal HW 20 ga. 3" and 16 boxes of the 12 ga 3" Magblends.
Right before the "heavier than lead" revolution, I got my hands on some boxes of 3.5 inch Winchester Supremes. I remember patterning a few of those! (Ouch) I didn't like the patterns at all. I got better patterns out of 2 and 3/4 and 3 inch shells and finally settled on 3 inch Supremes. And I found that 3.5 inch shells with 2 and a quarter ounces of shot were just too much, I wasn't going to put myself through all that punishment just to shoot at a turkey. Needless to say, I still have a few 3.5 inch shells left. If I can't kill a gobbler with a 2 and 3/4 or 3 inch shell, I won't bother with it. Turkey hunting should be a fun challenge, not misery.
I have a few rounds of Remington 6s that I started out with and used to kill my first turkey. Shortly thereafter I tried some Winchester 2oz #4s. They worked so well that I bought 8 boxes when they were on sale. I still have 4 or 5 boxes of it, no plans to switch until California goes no-lead in 2019.

I also have a couple of boxes of Kent 20 ga loads because I fancied taking a turkey with my 20 ga Ithaca 37. We'll see.
