[ HUNTING AMMO // 12 GA ]
12 GAUGE · TURKEY
What we recommend for Turkey with a 12 ga shotgun, and a link to shop matching ammo at JJ Armory.
[ 12 GA // TURKEY ]
RECOMMENDED SHOT
#4, #5, or #6 lead/copper-plated turkey, or TSS #7–#9, in 3" or 3½"
STEEL, LEAD, OR OTHER NON-TOXIC
Lead, copper-plated lead, or TSS
WHY
Traditional turkey loads (Nitro Turkey, Golden Turkey, Long Beard XR) use #4–#6 for penetration. Dense TSS puts more pellets in a tight head-and-neck pattern.
New York: no rifle, and shot must be no larger than #2 and no smaller than #8. Extra-full turkey choke. Pattern your gun.
IN STOCK AT JJ ARMORY
These are the 12 gauge turkey loads we have in stock, including #4–#6 lead turkey and Federal 3rd Degree 5/6/7.
