69beers Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 Is there much of a difference between #5 and #6 shot when it comes to knock down and penetration past 40 yards? Quote
Robert II Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 Yes, you will need at least #4 lead or Hevi-shot # 5 Best, Robert Quote
boo Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 I have a SBE 11 and a friend had me try Remington Hevi Shot turkey load 1225 fps #4s with buffer in them.I was useing a Briley LT Mod X2 choke at 40 yards and it smoked the pattern board a small bird would not have made it.They kicked alot more then I thought they were going to as for me they got my vote and thats what I`m going to use on turkey.Try them I think you will agree,hunt safe and be safe.

boo Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 Sorry, forgot to tell you also they were 1 5/8 oz. loads on my last post. Quote
ohiohunter Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 I like the 5's. it's the inbatween. The 6's are tighter but don't have the knock down as the #4's but the 4's don't like the stay tight for long distances. I have shot my nova at targets out to 65yds. with rem. hevi shot #5's and it penatreaded a 1/4" plywood atleast 35 pellets went thru. Quote
