[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 3551453, member: 1409"] Federal Heavyweight Turkey Shells in #7 They pack 1 1/2 ounce of their HTL pellets in a 20 gauge shell. [u]Their[/u] #7's will shoot completely thru a turkey's body at over 40 yards, so I see no reason to go with #6's. Pretty amazing to get better penetration than #5 lead, and denser patterns than #6 lead. Not only are the Federal Heavyweight pellets "heavier" than Hevi-13 pellets, but you get 1 1/2 ounce vs. 1 1/4 ounce, [i]AND[/i] a higher velocity with the Heavyweights. Before you purchase any after-marketed "turkey" choke for your new Franchi, try some of those Federal Heavyweights in your factory full choke. And unless you're using an optical sight, not sure you wouldn't gain more disadvantage than advantage with a tighter choke. [/QUOTE]
