   Buy a good reloader and make them the way you want them to perform

   No one here can predict the best for any brand of gun. You simply have to test pattern various loads through the gun first. You have to test pattern the gun (just like sighting in a rifle) before you hunt anyway. Odds are, any turkey load you buy is going to perform just fine.

   Assuming your talkin about a 12 ga with the .665 choke…

   You just have to try a bunch of different shells and shot types and find out for yourself. For me, I use a Beretta o/u 12ga with the Undertaker choke, shooting a #5 *3 1/2" Buffered Heavishot. -that’s what works for me tho. Your gun and expectations may be totally different.

   (sometimes) getting 3" pheasant loads and using those to get a general idea of what your pattern would be in specific shot sizes helps, but I guarantee, when you find one you like, ‘exactly’ will not apply.

   It’s a game of trial and error. It takes a while and quite a few $20 bills., but as long as you pattern it and know where it goes is the biggest step. I shot with a choke and load combination for years until I found one that was just right and still killed a pile of birds.

   Good luck to you!

   Lock and load. Keep your powder dry!
