[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 2584893, member: 92702"] I' going to get flamed, but neither belong on a shotgun not shooting slugs. The reason for them in the first place is because most folks over ckoke their guns. Most turkeys are killed under 30yds. This range and closer are also where most birds are missed with turkey chokes and red dots. I use a hevi shot handhold of #6 shot and 1-7/8oz of shot at 1300fps in a 3-1/2" hull. I have killed several in excess of 60yds. I use an imod choke. Velocity matters more than amount of shot at long range. The best thing about this setup is if you need another round you can put it on target nearly instantly vs any optic. The key is the gun has to fit you. I simply use my waterfowl setup and tune the load at 60yds. [/QUOTE]
