"One thing about turkey hunting, it is easy on the shotgun shell budget."
Except if you shoot the 3.5 inch Hevi-shot turkey loads. $6 a shell. So if you miss about twice at the same bird, you'll have more than one reason to cry. I can't imagine missing three times at $18. |

I use RST no. 5's and it is not too bad. Now if I miss with the 8 gauge . . . that is another story

Why 3.5"? (I hope the answer isn't "Because they don't make a 4 inch"
Why Hevi shot? 1 1/4 oz of lead 6's is plenty strong medicine. |

Why a 30-06 when a 70 grain big game bullet in a 22-250 will do? Sometimes you want them to stay put.
I laugh at tv hunters with the perfect calling where the bird comes in and struts right in front of the camera for five minutes or more. Mine always seem to be in a six year old pine plantation peeping between the branches to see you while you look for them. There is a difference between hunting fields and thick woods. Killed one this morning with the 10 hammer Parker, could have done it with a 20, waiting long enough with a .410. But one never knows. Same bird came to 60 yards three times Saturday, and I had big-medicine waiting for him then. Just needed ten more yards in. But did not want to cripple him. Why hevi-shot? Superior patterns. Dead as a door-nail dead. No flopping. To each his own. Bad weather and it will always be a parkerized synthetic modern gun, loaded to the max. |

Charlie, I got tired of waiting for a turkey to try out your shells for the old 8, so shot four of them at sporting clays this weekend. What an experience! Now looking to get set up for reloading myself. I sure appreciate your sending me the shells
