Hands down best turkey ammo review I’ve seen on KZfaq. Very unbiased for all brands. Excellent job

By far the best patterning video out there. Properly done

Fantastic video. Did a great job of not only comparing shells but stressing the importance of doing this yourself.

You did a great job on the review. Best I have seen on ammo review turkey loads.

Best turkey ammo review ever! Well done!

For as long as I’ve hunted turkey, I’ve used 2 3/4” 12 gauge 4,5, or 6 shot lead pheasant loads for turkey and they’ve worked just fine. Call them within 30 yards and you don’t need tungsten, copper plated, etc. More than half the fun is calling them in close.

Fantastic video. The discussion seems to always head down the path of "every gun is different". But they aren't that different and a good shell is a good shell for the most part. It's great to be able to learn from a video like this and save some money as well as shoulder meat. Thank you!

I am impressed with the Longbeard XR on this video. Great video!!

This might be the best turkey ammo review I’ve ever seen. The one consistency I see between all the turkey ammo review videos is that magnum blend and long-beard XR are the top dogs.

Great information and thanks for taking the time and also your expense to compare these loads! Good hunting this Spring!!!

Best comparison video on the web. Thanks for putting the time, energy and $ into this. I just bought a mossberg 835 and was unsure about what ammo to try.

The greatest comparison video on KZfaq.

RIP to this man's shoulder

Great video! You diffently broke the bank on this review,thanks brother! I love the LRs

Great review/comparison. I have used the longbeard for several years but since I don't get many days to hunt, I am switching to the heavy loads to get a few extra yards past my normal 40 yrd limit. This gave me a real side by side without the investment or bruises.

Best turkey load review I've seen

Great review and can’t wait for the season to start already!

Excellent review PERIOD. Totally objective from beginning to end. Have experimented with the same ammo and leadsled combination myself although with a TC ProHunter 20ga. Max range for me was out to 40 yards. Same results ………. I have elected to stick with the Longbeard, they flat out work. Keep up the great work.

Excellent video on the performance of today’s offerings in turkey shot!

Nice review. Was glad to see test at longer ranges. I used to test my 1187 Turkey gun at 50 yards. Your gun/choke combo shoots very well.

Prepping for my first shot at bagging a turkey, very informative and well put together video. Thanks man!

Very good 👍 the best video I've seen on turkey loads. Thank you for taking the time and money to test. I usually use Winchester #5 but picked up a box of 3" #9 TSS. Illinois just drop the minimum shot size from #7.5 to any. As long as it's #4 or smaller.

Best shotgun shell comparison I’ve seen. Must have cost you a fortune!!

Thanks for taking the time and also spending the money for this video! I know most won't think of it the same way but I know because I have a channel!

Very comprehensive review. Nicely done!

Amazing content, I see it's a little older I'm headed to your page to see what's new. Good review 👍

Nice, informative, fairly unbiased. Thanks much!

I agree with Cody Harper. Outstanding review.

Awesome!! I love long beard just wish they would make them for the 10ga.thanks for taking the time to do this video.

Good review. Best one I've been able to find. Thanks

Great video!! My son & I watched it and found it very useful. His 8 yrs old and in a few weeks will hunt for first time. Keep the videos coming brother!

This was enlightening, thank you!

Very good info and video! I shoot a Stoeger m3000, what I'm doing this year is keeping a 3rd degree Chambered and tss ghost loaded on the shell lifter. If a bird hangs up past 40 all I have to do is slowly reach up and eject the 3rd degree and the tss is ready to quietly hop in and go to work

Thank you for the review!

I really appreciate this review. I just started Turkey hunting and Im using the new 3rd degree ammo. Im gonna have to try some of that other ammo. Thanks for this video.

Thx for doing this! Great info. I think a standard non choke barrel with these loads compared to same loads through a choke would be a cool video. Grandpas old break open vs modern mossberg shoot out...

That was a great bit of info!

Excellent pattern video. Maybe best I've seen. Wish I could get my hands on that kind of ammo now.

That was OUTSTANDING With out a doubt one of the best done videos I have ever seen on KZfaq. Thank you for a extremely well done and very informative video.

Great job man i like the idea behind that tss

You hit the nail on the head with 3rd Degree! I said it was good for a beginner keeping thier shots definitely under 40 yrds!! Truth it is brother! Good job!

Great job. Thanks a million!

Great video, I'm going to have to pick up some #7 TSS to try, we can't use number 9 in Ontario

Really good video. Thank you for this!

Great review, great video.

One of the best reviews. And the only critique would of made this perfect,would of been using the same target for all the loads. Damn, good job brother.

Great video

Excellent review! 🦃 😀

One of the best turkey ammo reviews I have seen on KZfaq so far. Great job and keep up the good work. Good luck this spring! Oh and I do like me that Longbeard XR! My only criticism would be that you should have done one shot in the 5-10 yard range. It's the one range where the I think the Longbeard looses a step to loads like the 3rd Degree. Great job again.

Federal made the flite control flex wad in their black cloud duck and goose loads too and they work great. I had a chance to try em out this past duck and goose season here in TN.

Had to sub after watching this review! Best by far that I have watched. Have to try this in the Mossberg 930 that I have just won. Don’t know much about shotguns but this one came with 4 chokes, one is a turkey choke, and also won a Kicks High Flyer choke too!

Great video Caleb! I'm a Winchester Longbeard guy myself (3 1/2" #5's). I might get a box of 3rd degree just for the #spurtape :) Good luck this year bub!

Very impressed 👏 on your comparison. After this snow ❄ breaks here in Pennsylvania I need do same have test new shotguns groups yet. I know my mossberg 500 long barrel shoot high with #4 shot turkey and hevie-shot #6

Thanks for the awesome video and review

By far the best head to head comparison I’ve seen to date. If nothing else it shows there ain’t much difference from shell to shell in modern turkey ammo but the added amount of shot per shell you get by going to a tss load all the while gaining or at minimum equaling the load weight of comparable lead or heavier then lead/tungsten alloys, definitely isn’t a gimmick. Not to mention that tss really shines in the smaller gauges like 20ga and 410 bore. It now gives youth hunters, smaller women hunters and or handicapped hunters a viable option for recoil management as compared to 3” or 3.5” 12ga magnums that most hunters considered mandatory to ethically kill a long beard prior. They can now shoot smaller bore shotguns and confidently make kills out to 40 yards easily never noticing or thinking about what punishment awaits that trigger pull and where as they might otherwise become gun shy or worse, give turkey hunting/shooting firearms up completely, they now can add to our tradition and keep the sport alive and growing. I gotta ask. How do u like the tss from Federal. Is it worth it. I shoot a Benelli SBE2 and usually shoot Magnum Blend 3.5” shells. Should I try the stuff

Great job!

Ill tell you what! Winchester has it figured out with there ammo.especily turkey loads.ive been turkey hunting for over 20 years & sure seen the ammo improve over the years.ive shot a couple other brands thru the years but the past 6 years winchester is the only shell i will put in my shotgun for deer & turkey.thanks for the video.great stuff!

Very very good. Great job

Great video by the way

Good stuff right there!!

Very interesting video comparison. It really makes me feel good about the Indian creek choke for my 1187 and longbeard xr ammo I just picked up. Plan on getting out and patterning it soon.

That ole mossberg is a keeper for sure. I’ve patterned a lot of shotguns and shot a lot of shotgun still target competitions and most all shotguns are like shooting a sloppy shooting rifle, most of the times you get groups that are up down right and left but that Mossberg is dead on all the time. Great job and keep the videos coming please.

Great video, I'm definitely a long beard fan.

Great Review

Hevi shot #6 3" here in a beretta 26" barrel, does the trick every time even out to 60yards.

Great vid!

Mossberg 500. Undertaker choke. NitroTurkey/SuperX/DoubleX/longboard XR all have taken birds for me out to 40 yds :). Good video! Thx!

Very informative video, lots of time and money making this - much appreciated…

A great review. Thanks for sharing this.

Great video, nice job ! 👍

Good demo on various shotgun rounds.

Awesome video, heavyweight, heavy shot, and tss give better patterns in 680 choke range....

Great job on getting all that ammo Lucky to find one brand of ammo here

The best turkey ammo comparison by far. Kudos for including the premium ammo vs the basic lead loads vs longbeards.

When I saw that stack of great turkey loads I KNEW I was in the right place!!!!!!!!!!

Best turkey ammo video on KZfaq period ! Thank you for sacrificing your shoulder and wallet to bring us that! Wow!

Thanks for the info, opening day next week is my first

Nice. Be Hard to beat this video on Turkey loads nice job!

Very good comparison video I’ve liked if you used the same target you used in the XP’s cuz they are waaaay better than those caldwell ones other than that those magnums and XP’s are bad with a capital B

Good video

Great video, thx

Thank you for sharing.

I have always shot Winchester double x 12 guage 3 inch and have killed plenty of longbeards with them but I am going to use long beard xr from now on

Best patterning video I've watched. Comparing loads with different shot sizes and payloads may be a little misgiving when counting holes in paper but still a good comparison. I shoot the XR Longbeards 3" #5's. Remington 870 21" barrel with Indian Creek .665. This is one deadly combination!! Only thing I've ever liked better was Winchester Extended Range. Hated to see that go!!! Jus wondered if you have ever tried any Kent TK7 Penetrator loads??

Got 3rd degree on clearance for $5 per box so I picked a few up. It patterned okay out of my Vinci

Great video but since longbeards usually shoot different than other loads you may need to re-zero for all the rounds to get the most accurate results. Again great video.

Good video.

the 3rd degree has a flight control wad and it needs a less constricting choke so it doesnt break apart under pressure at the end of the choke but im not hating still a very good review

Get a Mossberg 835/935 with a Rhino choke and Nitro heavyshot 4/5/7 or Notro TSS and it’ll blow all them patterns away! But you got some good ens there, good video too!

Dude that is the best review on shot gun ammo I have seen yet but where you shot turkeys I shoot bob cats that are eating my chickens and the longest shot I have made yet is just over 40 yards with a 12 gauge with a 3 1/2" #4 though it still ran ten feet before dropping ...

Longbeard xr matched with a trulock shot size specific choke is a very deadly combination

awesome video sir very informative . i shoot the long beard XR 5s in three inch and it will kill easy out too 50 yards !

thx 4 making this

Great evaluation. May I suggest a change for the next test, standardize the target if possible. The orange caldwell target doesn't exaggerate the hits the same way the black back targets do. All in all the best turkey ammo test out there.

Really like your channel bro.

Ain't nothing like them gobblers!!!!! Great video bud!!!

Old 20 gauge single my dad bought me when I was 10, 55 years ago. Changed the butt stock to adult size. Remington 20 gauge #6 Pheasant load $6.00 a box of 25 1220 fps. 1 ounce of lead, plenty if your sighted in. Hunting for $150.00 or less. All the rest is sales and profit margin.

Thanks for the great video...unfortunately here in California there is no lead allowed...definitely narrows the choices down

Made a clean kill at 65 yds with a benelli nova 28" barrel comp n xxf choke with 3.5" Remington nitro Turkey #5s

Awesome review 😁😁👍🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃
