what gun and choke are yal shooting? I shoot a Mossberg 835 with a rhino choke then my back up is a stoeger m2000 with a jelly head choke but will probably get a rhino choke for it soon. I shoot hevi shot magnum blend out of both.
 
Browning pump 10 ga. With a kicks. 690 and handloads, federal hw #7s, Winchester lead, hevi shot. All depends on the situation.
 
NEF pardner pump 12 gauge with xx full accu choke and Winchester supreme 3" 5 or 6 shot. Comfortable at 20 yd but have killed em out to 45.
 
My dedicated turkey gun is a 1999 Model Remington 870 Special Purpose 3.5" in Mossy Oak Break-Up camo. It has a 23" bbl sporting an Indian Creek .665 choke. I have so many fond memories of this gun that it would take a boat load of money for me to separate with it. It has been flawless over the last 13 springs; wish I could say the same about myself in the turkey woods. :)
 
Browning bps 12 with the factory xx full choke, never saw a need to buy another since I have kills out to 60 yards with it
 
Muddyboots you got a pic of that rig? Also what's the barrel length and how does she shoot?

Everyone said the 2 7/16 loads didn't do to good in the remington so was just wondering.

My 870 SP setup mentioned above shoots the H517 ammo (2 7/16 oz) like a dream. Good dense patterns with little to no voids in it. I have been thoroughly impressed with these shells in my gun. The only negative is target shooting as the 2 7/16 ounce loads kill on both ends when shooting at paper. Not so much, when a long beard is the target.

Ill take a pic of it and post it. I bought some of the 2 7/16 loads by mistake and when i shot the first one i thought wow that kicked more but the pattern was awesome. After some investigation i figured out what had happenned. I posted a pattern last year and a guy said i was lying so i try not to do that anymore but its bad!
