You're a better man than me - hell, I won't even shoot 1oz factory loads let alone 1 1/4.
All my loads are my own reloads so I know what's in em. Of course all I'm doing is shooting clays so I got spoilled on 7/8oz at about 1180FPS. Nice and soft - Paul |

i agree paul on those soft loads..they are fine for the shoulder and shooting clays and even small game...but when it comes to a turkey i want at least a 1 1/4 or more probably more i like the 1 1/2 ounce in2 3/4 inch 12 s and the 3 inch i like 2 ounce ...in the 3 1/2 inch 12 i like the 2 1/4 ounce load...in the short ten i like 1 5/8 ounce or if i use gauge mates i like 3 inch 12 ga 2 ounce load and in the 3 1/2 inch 10 i like the2 1/4 ounce load...if i use the 8 ga ilike a2 1/2 ounce of lead....no wonder im gun shy huh....but i do like the low recoil loads espically the 1 ounce 10 ga.... still thinking about the 1/2 ounce 20 ga load..... charlie

loaded up them 1/2 ounce 20 ga loads today and tried them...all i had were felt wads to load with....i patterned them with a full choke gun first the pattern was terrible....then tried a cly bore and patterned it still bad patterns...my opinion wasting time and lead fooling with 1/2 ounce loads in the 20 ga.... both guns patterned at 40 steps....thew would be ok at 20 yards but i aint to fast on the draw anymore....dont believe a plastic wadding would have done any good but who knows i may try it some day.... charlie
