Turkey load opinion

[George Lang]

Since the 1980's I have used REM-Peters 12 ga 2 3/4" Duplex load short magnum. Its 1 1/2 oz loaded with both #4 & #6's. Only have 2 rounds left but I do have a box of Sears short mag #5, 1 1/2 oz ammo. 4x6 loads worked great, same rounds in 2x6 sucked(open patterns). In 16ga 2 3/4" Peters short mags with 1 1/4 oz loads have performed consistently well. Almost impossible to find today, thankfully I still have half a box left.

When they first opened the turkey season here we could use duplex loads but I believe they have banned them for turkeys now. I have no idea why, they worked great. College kids and nature conservancy people running the Division of fish and wildlife these days.
