What load do ya'll prefer?
My 3.5" 10ga has a pretty limited selection of factory turkey ammo. Best I've found has been hevi-shot magnum blend. At 25 yds Im doing about 380 pellets in a 10" circle. Due to only using a full choke it drops to about 100 pellets @50yds. It works great but I cringe every time I have to buy ammo ($35 for a box of 5).
My backup gun is a 12ga Mossberg 500. Currently I'm using some nitro company ammo that my father gave me because it wouldn't function in his gun. The nitro patterns about the same as the 12ga 3" hevi-shot magnum blend and cost roughly about the same. I'd like to find a something more reasonably priced with a decent pattern to replace the nitro once it runs out.
