On my last turkey trip there were 4 of us. 3 of them did not bring any shells. One no shell owner had a 20 gauge. I had nine 12 gauge shells from around 1985-1995 turkey hunting. So, having three 12 gauge guns, we each had 3 shells. The 20 gauge owner had to share the use of his Dad's 12 gauge. We all killed birds but it took seven shells to accomplish it. I came home with the leftover two.
My reloads this year will be determined by whether I can find some 3" hulls for my Rem 1100 turkey gun. I may reload some 2 3/4" hulls with 1 1/4 ounces of #6 in front of 700X. Only time will tell. |

Oh, wait. I didn't tell the best part of that turkey hunting story. Early in the morning, as I was getting ready to set up in a spot I had picked out the evening before, somehow I got a shell backwards in the receiver of my 1100 gun and could not get that damn shell out of the receiver. So, being a clever fellow, I screwed off the end cap and removed the forend. The guy and his kid were with me. The guy with no shells asked, "Hey, what was that just flew out of your gun?". Yep, the end cap and magazine spring flew out and were somewhere in the cedar breaks we were standing in. Spent the next 2 days hunting with a one shot shotgun!!!
Two weeks later, continuing to be a clever guy, when I got a replacement end cap and msgsxinr spring, I tied an orange string to each of them and stuffed them down into the barrel magazine waiting for the next time in the future 30 years that will happen again so I will find them.

I went out and patterned two Parkers for turkey hunting today. A 12 PH and a 10 Grade 2 hammergun. Boy, did the 10 do much better.

I have always used "off the shelf" 12 ga. game loads with #6 shot in my 1898 DH. This year I will use #6 shot in 10 ga. "Scott Kittredge" reloads in my Grade 3 Lifter.

Here in upstate New York we are not restricted to guage size. My 40" P grade 8 guage works well.------Two ounces of #4 shot.-----The gun has lots of choke. However I limit myself to around 50 yards.
