.62 Turkey load / Squirrel load

[weum817]

What loads do you guys use for turkey and squirrel hunting in your .62 cal?
I have one coming soon and want to figure out what loads to use. I have circle fly wads ( brown over powder/fiber cushion/ white over shot ) and 2F goex
Thanks

I use 65gr of 3f, a 1/4" lubed wool felt wad, a 90 gr measure of #5 shot, and a thin over shot card.

About the same load except I use tow as the wad and wadded paper or tow over the top. natural wads work well and I have used wool blanketing, greased dog hair, rubbed brown paper, ans old wasp nest. Picked hemp thead works well also but it is a pia to pick.
