Most Lethal Turkey load you have ever used?

[Tail Feathers]

Nitro Ray's Nitro rounds (5101's) shot out of a Mossberg 835 with a Rhino choke.
That stuff really whomped the birds.
It also whomped the shooter.

I always liked the old Winchester XX supremes (red shell). I still shoot them in my 835. I've been using Hevi 6s in my 3 inch 870 and they are wicked

Not sure about more lethal but I loved the old Winchester supreme 3 1/2" #6 (black hull). I killed a lot of turkeys with those loads. Never missed one with them and now I have missed two in 3 years with the long beards. ??  May not be the shell though!!??

Fed 3.5" hvywt 7s smash em

[GSLAM95]

Gun - 20 gauge Federal Heavyweight #7's
Bow - Gobbler Guillotines

[WyoHunter]

Hevi-13 2 oz 7's

[Lucky_Strutter]

Nitro Company H517 they are absolutely wicked out of my 11-87 & IC choke, a close second would be 3.5 Hevi-13 7's

[IssaquahBob]

Tried various ones over the years but now have settled on Winchester LongBeard XR 12 ga 3" 1 3/4oz #5 shot.

Sunday, took down a nice 2-year old jake at 48 paces; bird just dropped when hit!

I liked the Winchester LB #5 but they are just too tight up close for me.  I shot them out of .665 and they were just really tight at 20 yards.

Used to be Nitro H321. Then Hevi 3.5" #7.  Magblends.

Now - Nothing compares to TSS.

[Gamblinman]

TSS loads where its legal. Federal Heavyweight 7's in the others.

I got tired of Nitro Rays and their pixie dust shot. They must use the floor sweepings or the shot manufacturer has poor quality control that's passed on to the consumer.

Remington once made a turkey load that had heavy somewhere in the name I think. Back in 2000 to 2002 I believe. The shells were dark olive green with black brass. They were #6's and amazing turkey shells. Couldn't find them again when I ran out.  I haven't been as confident in a load until I picked up a box of LB 3" 6's.

No doubt it had to be these Remington Hevishot...mine were 3.5" #4's through a star dot choke..lethal

The old red winchester 3 1/2 #6 shot was the best I ever shot, don't like nothing with the word heavy in it.

Here in California, we are forced to use non-toxic shot for turkey hunting now...  I ain't using steel shot.

I actually think Hevi-shot is a good killer though, and probably out-preforms lead as far as ballistic function and patterning.

Honestly, outside of missing, I have never not killed a bird cause of a poor load...  I accidently shot #2 steel a couple years back and killed the bird just as dead as with a proper turkey load.

Nitro H517. 2 7/16 oz. of holy terror on a turkey head. Win extended range as a close second. Anybody ever wondered what would happen if Winchester used the longbeard xr technology with the extended range shot?
