I'm pretty sure Washington requires #4 shot or higher for TurkeyWe shoot ours with a Rem 870 in both 12 & 20 gauge with #5 steel. Works just fine, I use steel on all birds including grouse. I don't like the visible trails of lead that lead shot leaves through the meat. On grouse I prefer to use heavy enough shot it passes through, less broken teeth that way.
You are close: Hunters must use #4 shot or smaller (e.g., #6 shot is legal) to hunt turkey. Remember that the larger the number of shot, the smaller it is.I'm pretty sure Washington requires #4 shot or higher for Turkey
You sir are correct I definitely got that backwardsYou are close: Hunters must use #4 shot or smaller (e.g., #6 shot is legal) to hunt turkey. Remember that the larger the number of shot, the smaller it is.
#4 shot is the LARGEST size shot you can use.
Now that you've got it patterned go hunting. Your not going to notice that kick when that fat gobbler struts in and it's not like duck hunting where you might bang away. Probably only take 2 shots in the Spring.Was able to get some 3.5", 2.25oz, 5's, ultimate turkey shells. Went to pattern it with a Hevi-13 choke (~.676) and it kicked harder than a bull with his nuts tied. I think I'm going to stick with the 3" shells. Maybe I'll be able to develop my own 3.5" loads when ballistic products finally ships my components.
