6's or 7's should shoot lights out with that setup. :OGturkeyhead:

Anything bigger than #7s is a waste of space.

I like the 7's, but used the 6's with success also.

Sounds like 7 is the lucky number. Headed to get some now.

Picked up a box. Says they're only 1090 fps. They hold up pretty well downrange?

You will be more than pleased with their performance down range.

7's are BAD medicine on Turkey noggins.  I killed a Merriam, last May, at a lasered 38 yards and it never moved after the shot. You will be very pleased!

#7s and the Magnum Blends are awesome as well.

I'm the odd man out it appears but I'm sold on the 6's! I've shot the 7's but went back to the 6's. They hit hard!

I've got a 10 year supply of the 6's.

Absolutely stomped turkeys with both the past 4 years I've been using them.  The 7s have a fuller pattern.

I'm pretty fired up to shoot them today. I don't know anything about the kinetic energy but I can see where 6 hit harder but would think if you had more 7's going in a head it would about equal out?

7's shine in the Hevi-13 loads.

Hevi-13 #7's will shoot plum through the head and neck of a turkey at 40yds like it was butter.

I shot one with #7s a while back at 35 steps (probably somewhere between 33 and 37 yards), and I noticed that a low flyer penetrated the breast completely and lodged under the skin on the opposite side.  Yeah, #7s should be fine.  ;)

7'a all the way.

I personally like the 6's myself. I have the 7's also and like them too, but I got real good numbers from the 6's with a touch more knock down power than the 7's. Either one will smoke a turkey, but I like killing one deader with the 6's  ;D

Yeah, the only reason I'm currently shooting the 6's is because my local shop doesn't carry the 7's, and there's not enough difference between the two to justify paying shipping costs.
