Charlie, I've never had a gun that shot 2's worth a damn, but I'll bet Brutus does. If I had that gun I'd be shooting it at turkeys. What a hoot that would be!

Don’t think I have any lead #2’s I do however have some that are Bismuth . But the targets at 40 yards Brutus shot with 4’s were pretty nice and the 6’s as well although I’ve never been much on 6’s for gobble birds . While I like Brutus a great deal I’d still like an 8 gauge hammerless .

Craig - every turkey I ever killed was with #6 lead... year before last I killed 2 toms with 1 shot 1 1/4 oz. of 6’s. Aim for the head and your pattern will crush bones in his spinal column and skulk ane make jelly out of his spinal cord and brain. A dense pattern of 6’s does the job for me every time.
