[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 1906404, member: 1409"] I'm not trying to see how far I can kill a turkey with any particular load, but I like to have a little margin for error, such as misjudging the range. Last week I killed a 22-lb-plus Tom with the Hevi 7#'s. He dropped in his tracks, dead. This one had been strutting in front of me for a long time and simply wasn't coming any closer. After I shot, I pulled out my rangefinder and from my position to the dead bird was exactly 47.0 yards. The #7's had completely passed thru this bird's head. Other than my aiming at his outstretched head, not sure how I managed to get none in the breast at that distance, but the breast had no hits. Prior to this year, I had gone many years mainly just using #5-size shot. And although I have to admit that under 40 yards it may matter little what size shot we're using, I'm "sold" on the #7 "hevi" shot. Exactly. [/QUOTE]
