Pheasant Shot for Turkey Hunting

I went out to pattern my 870 today. When I was finished I put a few rounds of Pheasant shot though it and it was also throwing a nice pattern. Has anyone used pheasant shot on turkeys?

Pheasant shot varies depending on who you talk to...
I use (or used when lead was still legal) called Fiocchi Golden Pheasant... These are nickle-plated #6's, #5's, or #4's... They come in 2 3/4" or 3" loads in both 12 ga., and 20 ga... When I shot lead at turkeys it was these loads. They pattern very well in both the 20 ga. and 12 ga.
Currently in California it is a non-issue as we can no longer shoot lead at most game (including turkey or pheasant).
Did I do that?
Fly fishermen are born honest, but they get over it.

I've not personally but, I know a guy who has and it shoots good. I've heard the Rem. and Federal Prairie Storm work really good.

A good pattern is a good pattern, regardless of the labeling on the box. I would hunt with a good patterning pheasant load any day. In fact, I hear the Rooster XRs are fantastic in 2 3/4" guns.
