turkey load
« on: February 21, 2009, 06:49:56 PM »
turkey season is not to far off, so what load in a 20ga has worked best for you. I have a Caywood officers fusil that has been jug choked. the load that has worked for me is 70grn 2f with equal volume #4 shot. I load powder, 4 over shot cards, shot, then 1 over shot card, also tried 80grns with equal volume of shot and same combo of cards. I get an excellent pattern out of both loads ;D so haven't experiment with anything else. just curious as what is working for others

I agree with RB, I use 90 gr. of 5's with 80 gr. of FFFG, and use powder cards over both.  The cards don't blow the pattern, and the more shot to powder seems to help the pattern density.
