Are 3.5" shotgun shells good or bad for turkey hunting? Many people are quick to assume that bigger ammo equates to more pellets which is better for hunting turkeys. And while it is true that you have more pellets in 3 1/2-inch shells, having more pellets in the ammo does not always equate to a better pattern. However, according to the data, there are several other factors about performance and cost that need to be considered with this hunting ammunition. Bigger shells are more expensive and have a lot more felt recoil. They may also not provide and improved pattern density over a 3" shell. In this review, I look at the data for several popular loads including Winchester Longbeard XR, Remington Premier Magnum Turkey, and Federal Premium TSS Turkey.

In the past few years, the 3.5-inch magnum craze has swept the turkey hunting industry. People just believe that bigger is better but there is a downside, several down sides. And with modern turkey ammo, there is no need at all for bigger shells. Between the lead Winchester Long Beard XR and the Tungsten TSS shells such as Federal, BOSS Tom, Apex, HEVI and other, there is no reason to shoot 3.5" shells. It is overkill and, in some situations, can hinder your ability to take turkeys.
