Assuming that you are using a 12 ga a box of Win 3-2 -5 or 3-1 7/8-5 should be very adequate for normal hunting ranges. The Brng inv+ likes the #5 shot in an x full choke pretty well.

thanks for the info RAJ!I see wal mart has got the winchesters at a good price so i'm going to try those first.I've patterned the vinci last fall but it was steel loads for waterfowl.got great results.The browning has been "old faithful"for many years but it also has been getting heavier every year!I'm still using it this season but i'll probably take the vinci out a few times.This summer i plan on getting it set up for next year with a good choke and red dot so i can switch back and forth between turkey and waterfowl.Or maybe butter up mrs. Claus for a super 3.5 vinci under the tree next year?!! ha! ha!GOOD LUCK!Hope you have a great season RAJ!
