ohh and FLHAWG.. when is hog season! i havent seen any hogs posted on here since ive been a member..
It runs year round on private lands and all I have is piblic lands to hunt on. With work and turkey huntin this spring I didn't get a chance to get out and catch any. I'll try to catch a few this summer if I get a chance next season for my is Gator in a couple months.

Nice Gobbler ISK and about the rabbit I don't condone poaching of any kind so I am staying out of this.
Tucker how many birds did you slam this spring?
I don't even think we have a rabbit season here in Florida I think we can hammer year round but I do know this time of year they do raise lil ones too.

Hevi 13's in 7s will get the job done for you through a .660 or .670 choke

That is a real brute you got there Flhawghuntr. Congrats on such a nice bird..Mike
Thanks Mike give me a few weeks till I get back from my hunt in Indiana which will start the 24th and then Andy Kaiser and I are heading to Nebraska and maybe Kansas. Should be another 5 or 6 down by then.

well to me there is no such thing as TOOOOOOOOOO TIGHT! i have a 2-7X32 scope on my nelli.. so i can zoom in on their wrinkles if i have too! lol.. but seriously.. i already have a primos 660 but it never patterns anything worth a **** so i may look at the rhino's.. you wouldnt happen to have a link, would ya?
Here's Rhino's site http://www.rhinochokes.com/ I shoot one in a .660 and get great patterns with the Nitros. Getting 400's is not really realistic unless your shooting handloads with TSS in 8's or 9's. I hear that Pure Gold chokes are pretty dang good but never needed to get a new choke since mine shoots as good as I ever will need. Best of luck getting the desired pattern that you want.

Tucker and Mud congrats to the both of you for knocking down a couple beautys!

Tryed patterning Pure Gold in M2 today. Typical Benelli fashion highand left 8". Used kentucky windage for 3 shells best I could get was 226 shot in 15"circle at 30 yds using Win Super-X #6 3" and this is no April's Fool tale.
one thing is lead never patters as well as hevi shot does. That being said if you don't like the pure gold choke send it back and they will give money back or send you another one. They have great customer service! I'd be willing to bet if you got you a box of that new Magnum blend or the hevi 13 in 6 or 7's you would be really happy with your patterns at 40yds.

Everyone is selling something
I'm still going to rely on reputable people who run reputable businesses long before I rely on the opinions of any Internet Wizard, no matter how much they type, and no matter what their mother says from the top of the stairs to the basement
Party on Wayne!
Always someone Mud who thinks they know more than what companies spending millions on in delveloping these chokes. You have to wonder if these so called experts knew so much bout what ported or non ported supposedly do they might be working making and developing these chokes instead of posting bout a topic they really do not understand. Does make great reading though while on the throne!
-
Hevi shot in 7s and TSS in 9s are the newest thing for reloaders. 7 in hevi and in Federal HW are deadly to 50 yards with the right choke. The more dense of the shot the more energy it carries down range.
-
Yeah i would love to see a actual 30 yard shot doing that. Also what shell were you supposedly shooting? For someone who has ths great shootng gun you sure seem unsure of yourself or the gun and pattern. Maybe you ought to pattern it more and see if you can duplicate it cause even a squirrel can find a nut every now and then. Personally i could care less bout what you shoot you asked a question not me I'll kill my birds this season like all others.
-
5s seem to pattern better just cause of the smaller shot but I have seen some guns shoot 4 copper plated better though. It all depends on the shell choke combo though. Buy you a Pure Gold 670 and you will most likely never shoot anything else. Actually if you want to talk to people who live and die hutning these damn turkeys. Go to http://www.oldgobbler.com their are some of the most knowledgeble people their when it comes to hutning turkeys whether it be shells or chokes and even handloading.
-
With the new 20 ga loads go for it. I shoot a 12 ga but with the right load choke combo their are a lot of 20 gauges that are 40 yard killers. The key is the right choke and load combo.
-
Well bout time they atleast up their velocitys in their magnum blend but their other shells they still fail to realize what could be. The hevi 13 MB will never out perform the nitros but should perform pretty good patterns with the right set up.
-
I use a Rhino but a great choke with the best customer server from what I hear is Pure Gold Chokes. If it does not perform well them will give you your money back no questions asked or exchange it for a different constriction your choice.
-
Of course it can nt ony can it be dangerus to shoot it if the constriction is to tight but also a crappy pattern as well. Usually you will not have to much problems with lead shot but to tight with steel is a disaster waiting to happen.
-
That is amazing I thought my Buddie Ronnie Caudill had a lot over 350+ That is a great acomplishment.
-
Save the money and forget the SBE II performance model and just get the SBE II You can make that shoot as good as the performance model for a lot less. You would be paying 1200 more for nothing really. If money is not a option just by you another SBE II and pimp it out yourself and save a lot of cash for other things that you mjught need during a turkey season.
-
I'd get the auto as you never know when you will need a quick follow up shot.
-
ive actually heard on the tactical barrel it has a fixed bore, so it doesnt use a choke
The M4 comes with a standard modified choke so I imagine your does as well. Get a good choke in super full and some winchesters # 5 or 6s and make sure your gun patterns well out to atleast 35 yards and hit the woods this spring.
To many people here give opinions on turkey hunting when they themselves are basically just starting out themselves.
Their are a few here that know what they are talking bout when it comes to killin turkeys so ask away but be wary of what some say.
