Federal Premiums
just patterned my gun, its a mossberg model 500 turkey gun 24" barrel, double xx full turkey tube, today with federal premium mag-shok magnum loads. 3" 2. oz, #6's i shot a pretty good group. justo wondering if any of u guys have ever used the federals and was wondering if they were any good.

RE: Federal Premiums
I shoot the same gun except I use #5 1 7/8oz, the Mag shok worked better than the premiums and last year with premiums I bagge one, one shot 47 paces. Seems to pattern good and if you can afford it try the Hevi shot, I tried them to pattern but couldn't afford them for hunting last year(laid off at turkey season) but you'd be shocked at how much better they are. I could see taking a bird out to almost 60yds if neccesay with the Hevishot.But If you like the federal,I'd stick with them, I do

Frito, I've done it, I called the hevi shot tech and the Mossberg tech services and all they told me was not to go below a .665 restriction. Never a problem and I've run a box through mine same set up your using.

Aren't the Mag Shok® and Premium Grand Slam® the same exact load; just in different packaging? I went to get some Premium Grand Slam® a couple of days ago & they had all been replaced with Mag Shok®. Comparing the two boxes closely I noticed they have the same exact bar code.
