My only True Double on turkeys happened in 2019. Two jakes with one shot at 32 yards, purely by accident.
1898 12-gauge DH with 30" Titanic Steel barrels choked F/F .

Two with a GHE and one with a 34" VHE. This has got me to thinking that I have never taken a turkey with a 20 gauge. I just might give it a shot this year, no pun intended.

My first Parker turkey. Last spring on my farm with a Grade 2 30'', F/F damascus hammer gun. I was shooting 1 oz of 6's at 1150 fps.

I never could understand using ultra heavy loads on turkeys. I think it encourages taking shots that are too far. Better to use a sensible load that patterns well and limit shots to 40 yards and under. Same thing for ducks and geese. If you can’t take them with that load, you shouldn’t be taking the shot in my opinion. |
