#4 3" ...its a good place to store my turkey loads. Figure that it will work enough to slow them down so that I can club them or start raining 9 and 380 at close range.
 
I keep 2 3/4" OO buck
But I live in the sticks with no neibors close

In town
I would probely keep #4 or #2 lead loads

As they will be efictive at house hold ranges
But not penatrate the neibors house

Mossberg 500 Turkey Special, full camo, 20" barrel, 12 gauge, 3" chamber and a Carlson's .680" restriction. This shotgun patterns tight at 50 yards, which means at close range it'll blow through most "targets". :smiley_blink:

Dead Coyote ammo (T size shot), in 3" shells.
No matter the varmint (2 legged or 4) the effect will be the same. :smiley_dead:

Good hunting, Bowhunter57
