How many shells does your gun hold and?

[Buck Assassin]

Do you load it to the max before each hunt?
Mine holds 5 in the tube and one in the chamber.
And yes I fill that sucker full!

 

[rbreedi1]

I don't ever take the plug out of mine so 3..

 

[Big Gun]

I only put three in. If I can't kill one with that then I'll just kick myself in the butt and pull some out the vest and re-load.

 

[Bow Hunter]

3 shells makes it plenty heavy to carry.

 

[spitndrum]

Is this a Trick Question???

 

[REN]

3 total here...i just never take the plug out from duck season.

 

[Winchester]

I rarely ever have more than 3 in while Turkey hunting!

 

[TheAirMan]

I put in 3.

 

[RUGER]

Holds three and yes I put three in it.

 

[WTM]

5 in the mag plus one in the chamber. the weight tames the 500's recoil a bit, although ive never needed a second shot.

 

[catman529]

Took the plug out when I bought it so I think it holds 5 in the mag and 1 in the chamber but I haven't checked to be sure. I will load it full on opening morning just to be sure... I am new and all that.

 

[RAFI]

at five dollars a shell I only use 3 if I ever have to use that many on one turkey i will feel like i lost anyway.lol

 

[Trevor2]

5 in the mag and 1 in the chamber, not bc I need that many but just bc I was always taught to load er full, never know when you could have got a couple duds or a coyote might come by as well

 

[spitndrum]

I thought you could only have 3 in the gun total statewide hunting?????

 

[REN]

nah turkey hunting doesnt require a plug...if i am not mistaken.

No restriction on number of rounds in magazine. (page 38 of H&T Guide)

I heard the same thing a few years ago but can't find it anywhere so I'm thinking may have been an old law that they changed, maybe idk

 

[WTM]

only for migratory birds

 

[Deerbuster1996]

2 shells

 

[spitndrum]

Huh well I never knew that I just always leave mine plugged?

I wouldnt put 5 in it if I could cause If I shot 5 times $20 mag blends that would suck and still no bird???
