Been using that load for years with no problems. Most turkeys I have shot were less 25 yards or less.

That factory fell off pretty good wondering if you ever shot 6 through either bet your pattern count would go up quite bit through that .665

I've been disappointed in the quality control of Browning factory chokes..........their fulls can vary from .675 to .690.

Remington & Winchester chokes are a bit more reliable but I still trust Trulock chokes more than factory made choke.:rolleyes:

Those rem . loads are ok, the lead is really soft in those shells, I once patterned those same shells and at 40 yards some of the shot was still stuck in the cardboard, at 25 yards they will kill, 8 shot will kill one at 25 also, good luck with lead shot,I would spend $10 More and get some Longbeard s in 5 shot, they are 90% better than those remington loads.

I will check a couple places for some. Not much around here within 25 miles. One place in town and may be hit or miss.

NO doubt if I was shooting lead that is way I'd go but you said most your shots are 25 or less them longbeards may be really tight and the factory may actually work out better in long run

I knew my gun had a good pattern at 25 so I just let the birds come on in. I will get a box and see what they do.

I've killed a few with those Remingtons out to 40, no worries... ;)

It looks like your load isn't centered, try at 20 and see if it shoots to point of aim, I also like to have a large sheet, like a newspaper page behind my target to see how well the pattern is centered at 40 yards...

I've shot 3-4 birds with those Remington's in 4 shot out of my 835. They've always shot well & never had a problem killing.

Try the regular Nitros without the turkey on the box. 16$ 25 shells. Same specs and kill just fine within 40.

Scott, if you need large paper, let me know. I've have some 24x36 and maybe 30x42 sheets that I got from work.
