16 ga. turkey loads?

[roverboy]

Does anybody know of any good 16 guage turkey loads? I've got an old Win. 37 that I would like to try sometime. It belonged to my father. I know I'm better off using my 12 ga. but I just wondered. Hey people use 20 ga. all the time right.

I guess nobody else has seen any either. Winchester makes turkey ammo but can't find any.

Man I haven't seen any turkey loads for a 16 guage. Sorry.

I would try the #6 shot and see how it will pattern. Does it have interchangable chokes?

Why not use regular high brass #5 or #6 loads? They work well in a 20.

Yeah I may just try high brass #5 or #6 loads. I just wish I could find a load with over 1 1/8 oz. Something like 1 1/4 oz. or better. Hunting 101, no this gun don't have choke tubes. Its older than me. Its a tight full choke barrel.

It should pattern well if it has a full choke.

I you can't find any Turkey loads, then I would definitely go with what was suggested and get some high brass #4 or #5, and shoot it a few times to see what your range would be.
