Mossberg 835 12 gauge and Winchester Supreme 3 1/2", 2 oz., #4 shot.
The Gun: I've had this Mossberg 835 for a while now, and it's taken plenty of gobblers in its time. The 835 has a short 20" barrel that is ported. It has a multi-choke system that allows the shooter to change out the choke. I have full and modified chokes so I can shoot 00 buck for deer hunting. The choke that comes with it is a dedicated extra full turkey choke that will throw an extremely tight pattern with turkey loads. Shooting 3 1/2" magnums will put a thump on your shoulder and I try not too shoot this gun more than twice per year. "One shot...one kill." In my honest opinion, this is a truly dedicated turkey weapon. It has a synthetic stock and fore grip. It is heavy and has shoulder straps. It can kill turkeys out to 45 yards...maybe 50 yards.
The new guns have camo stocks and grips. I just took some camo tape and did my gun up myself.
The Load: I've always used the Winchester Supreme high velocity 3 1/2" magnums. I prefer to throw a full 2 oz. load of # 4 pellets. I don't get as many pellets when compared to using #5 or #6, but the pellets I throw hit harder. I'm looking for penetration into the neck and this round has ALWAYS worked for me. I have confidence in this round. I'm recommending it.
