where my turkey hunters at?

[Lucius Clay]

I know its deer season, but I live for turkey season. Any one on here ever shoot Browning 3" BDX extra distance shells. Pick some up off the web the other day and was just curious if anyone shoots these? I have always shot Remington Nitro # 5, killed a lot of birds over the years, but with the ammo shortage, I am buying what I find, guess I will just have to pattern and see.

I think that Adamjen15 has shot them.

I personally have switched to Apex TSS turkey loads. You can use them with smaller shot sizes and even in a smaller gauge shell. They make a .410 perform like a 20 gauge and a 20 gauge like a 12.

Yes I tried some 3.5 #5s out of a longbeard xr choke and a hevishot choke and I really didn’t care for the pattern at all. I shoot the waterfowl bxds and I like them a lot

I shoot federal no5 shot 3.5” out of my benelli nova with a jelly head choke and get good patterns.

I have a pointer I shoot an Indian creek choke with the Winchester (I can’t remember the name, XR maybe?) with the sac for the bb’s and get almost too good of patterns.

took a turkey at 63 yards in south ga with my benelli a few years back.

Yeah I think your talking about Winchester longbeard xr shells. I’ve had my best patterns with the number 5 longbeards and number 5 hevi-13s. I shot one this year at about 60 yards
