Winchester's Double X Diamond Grade Turkey is a 3-inch .410 load built for turkey hunters who run the small bore. The shot is #7 1/2 lead with a high antimony content so the pellets stay hard and round, plated in copper for corrosion resistance and sorted for uniformity before loading, which is what the dense, even patterns depend on. It comes 10 shells to a box.

For an Illinois hunter carrying a 3-inch-chambered .410 into the spring woods, this is the dedicated shell rather than a field load pressed into service. Pattern it at the distances you expect before the season opens and note where the center of the pattern falls; ten shells per box is enough for a sheet of paper and a season of calling birds, and the plated, sorted shot is the reason to pay attention to this load over a generic small-game box.
