I use to use factory 3" 2oz 12 gauge loads for turkey. Think it was PMC who sold them. Shotgun scientists loaded 2.25oz. Imo the key is finding a wad tall enough to fit the complete payload in without overflowing. Imo overflowing shot blows the pattern. I found out quickly that 3/4's of 3oz payload didnt hit a 30" circle at 40 yards. Waste of shot. My 2.5 oz load alomg with a felpro gasket cork cushion wad in the base is a perfect fit with the tuff wads im using. The tuff wads are a little shorter than most 10 gauge wads. The only reason im using them is someone gave me 2 bags of 200 of them. The goofy unslit versions. They are discontinued as well. Imo ill never burn them up because theh are my turkey only loads now and not for plinking. What ever wad you plan on using fill one even to the top with shot and then weigh the payload to see how much you can load in it.

[QUOTE="Dultimatpredator, post: 3379037, member: 18272"] I use to use factory 3" 2oz 12 gauge loads for turkey. Think it was PMC who sold them. Shotgun scientists loaded 2.25oz. Imo the key is finding a wad tall enough to fit the complete payload in without overflowing. Imo overflowing shot blows the pattern. I found out quickly that 3/4's of 3oz payload didnt hit a 30" circle at 40 yards. Waste of shot. My 2.5 oz load alomg with a felpro gasket cork cushion wad in the base is a perfect fit with the tuff wads im using. The tuff wads are a little shorter than most 10 gauge wads. The only reason im using them is someone gave me 2 bags of 200 of them. The goofy unslit versions. They are discontinued as well. Imo ill never burn them up because theh are my turkey only loads now and not for plinking. What ever wad you plan on using fill one even to the top with shot and then weigh the payload to see how much you can load in it. [/QUOTE]
