mecheng Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I am off on my first turkey hunt tomorrow morning. It is too late to get a good aftermarket choke now so 2 questions. I have 2 types of ammo: winchester supreme 3.5" #5 with 2oz shot and remington Premier magnum 3" #5 with 2oz shot What stock choke and load should I use? Second, what is the best choke and round combo to order for the rest of the season? My concern was I am in California so I can only get steel shot and the modified is the tightest choke benelli says to use steel with. I would use the full choke but I don't want to damage my gun (don't care about the choke). Thanks for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feather Buster Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 im not from california,did you say you cant shoot lead or you cant buy lead?i only have to shoot steel or non-toxic for waterfowl,and on WDUs.that shooting is totaly different,so i cant help any on that.but i have just taken my first tom of the season with a factory full choke rated for steel and it mics at .705.i did not use steel but 2 3/4 inch copper blated,buffered Premier magnums 1 1/2 ozs of #6.i wouldnt hesitate to use steel through it with sizes in steel shot not larger than #3.steel in my findings doesnt liked to be squeazed.

bullelk1 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I own the same gun and put the stock Benelli turkey choke on it (.665") with #6 Hevishot, 3.5" magnum. Two shots, two dead gobblers this year. I was very impressed with the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
