thanks bill i will remember your advice when i get that old3 1/2 inch gun and that old turkeys hung up and wont come in any closer i will give him both barrels.will report the outcome if im able. charlie

[charlie cleveland]

it was definally the hulls that were the problem. i will definally use only new shells in my ithaca 10 ga. i reload a lot of the short 10s and never no problems with any kind of hullin my double barrels. have any of you fellas ever loaded the 3 ounce load in the 3 1/2 .i seen and ad some company sells this load.was wondering about recoil that kinda thing.. charlie

The three ounce load was marketed by Nitro Ammunition Company in lead especially for turkeys. It was not neccesarily a punishing load because it was fairly slow, like 1100 fps or less.

thanks bill for the info. ilooked this company up andthere load was as you said about1100 feet a secound.they also had a load listed at 1200.funny thing was one one of the price lists the 1200 load was cheaper than the1100.im going to by a package of these and see how they pattern and find out how good penertration is. and see how recoil is.this could be agood turkey load. charlie
