my 870 sm will put 240-250 #5,s and 307-320 #6,s on a 14x14 inch square at 42 yards with the new 3.5 mag. winchester long beard shells with a .660 jelly head choke. put a good recoil pad on your shotgun and suck up the recoil, you normaly only shoot 2-3 shells in the spring season. i have killed turkeys with every thing from a 410 at 18yards to a 10ga at 62 yards, but i have limited myself to 40 yards or closer in the last 20 years. eastbank.
