My fellow turkey hunters...

Just wanted to give you a heads up on a situation that I ran into earlier today...

I opened a new box of Winchester Turkey shells (2 3/4" baby magnum 1 1/2 oz loads) to go with my Remington 1100 semi-auto...the box I purchased is labelled #5s (I would have preferred #6s but they did not have any)...I was surprised when every shell in the box is stamped #4s...

Luckily I still have six or seven shells in the old box...

Make sure that you check any new boxes of shells to make sure you have gotten what you wanted to purchase...

My buddy came over tonight to shoot his gun and he bought a box of 5s at Walmart right before he got here and they were 4s as well. That’s nuts
