How many guys have turkey hunted with a Mossberg 835?Any load or choke combos I should check out to start an see how its patterning?Im trying to keep on somewhat of a budget
Thanks
Thanks
Factory Ulti-full choke or other? What 3.5s are ya using an what kinda patterns ya getting?? Any info is good info(sorta)I do just for turkey. Not much help since I've been shooting the same box of 3 1/2" turkey loads for the past 10 years. Usually one shot per year is all that gun sees.
I always shot 3.5" federal lead 5's out of mine out of a factory full choke. Killed em dead but every gun shoots different . I know it wasn't fun to pattern .
Thats what im talking about!!! 4 ,5 or 6 Dave?This is Dave right?i shot an 835 for years, undertaker choketube, 3 in winchester supreme, farthest bird I killed was 52 yards.....its a very very solid turkey gun
Although I don't have a Mossberg, ill second giving hevi-shot 5's a try. I shot one a couple seasons ago at 10 yds and there wasn't much holding his neck on. The furthest I've killed one was at 67 yds. It just fell over.I started shooting the HeviShot 5's last year and they are fuggin DEVASTATING. At 20 yds, the pattern is so tight it may just decapitate a turk. Killed at jake at about 50 yds... the bird never even flopped. I know they're expensive shells, but look for mail in rebates and they are bareable... Definitely worth a try, IMO.
