NRUT82 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I had to throw a post in here, several weeks ago I was looking for advice on loads and chokes. I recieved a lot of good advice from you guys like MUDHEN. I wound up taking a great tom a few days ago. I will say that I have always told people not to shoot at birds further than 40-45 yards out, but it so happened because of my scooting farther back off the edge of the field and mis-judging the distance of this last tom that I hammered and I mean hammered him at 55 yds (I thought he was arounf 40-45 yds out), with my M2 and IC choke, 26" barrel, shooting a 3" 2oz load of #5's Hevi Shot. Once I dressed him out there was about 8-10 pellets in the wing/breast area and probably 20+ holes in his head and neck area. Thanks again for the help fella's and I dont believe I will shoot another shell other than the HEVI-SHOT's. 1 1/4 spurs,11" beard 20 lbs.

hognutz Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Congrats on the nice bird. You will never go wrong when Mudhen, Tucker and a bunch of the others give advice. They are the real deal. I.C and Hevi-13 do a Benelli Proud..Well done..Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsethmor Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I have a Supernova. Here's the route to go! 2 or 3 ways. 1. Indian Creek BDS choke/w Hevi-13 3.5" 2.25oz, 6 shot or 7 shot 2. Pure Gold .670 choke with same as above ammo 3. Same 2 choices with Nitro ammo (hard to get and very expensive) you must purchase it directly from Nitro Thats pretty much the gospel at this point. Don't doubt me. I have both tubes and shot the 3.5" 2.25oz, 6 shot through both and they are both EXCELLENT tubes for the Supernova 200+ in a 10" circle @ 40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though the IC/Hevi-13/Benelli combination patterns well at long ranges, the shooter still has to do his part. Good shooting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsethmor Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Nice! Even though the IC/Hevi-13/Benelli combination patterns well at long ranges, the shooter still has to do his part. Good shooting! Good deal! I had 3 whiteheads @ 55 yards last Saturday, I would have taken them at that range but I had my daughter with her 20 gauge Nova with a Indian Creek tube on hers and told her not to shoot. I don't feel comfortable with the Hevi 13, 1.25 7 shot she was using over 40 yards, thats about max for her gun, as far as patterns go. If I would have been by myself (BLAM!) and those birds were hung up, 1 strutting and two grazing with 4 hens, NO gobbling what so ever. So tomorrows another day (by myself) 8-) Just some FYI on her gun and load @ 40 the highest count we got was 140 something, not bad for a 20 gauge.

Flhawghuntr Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Hevi 13's in 7s will get the job done for you through a .660 or .670 choke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goosegetter Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 thanks for the advice flhawghuntr but i live in ontario canada and #7's are not allowed for turks here. were limited to 4,5,or 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
