The constriction is .028 in each barrel so it would work on the pass shooting, at least for me anyway. It does swing well. Good luck with the turkeys !

Oh you don't have to encourage me in that department. I have been to the skeet range and 5 stand with it and just as soon as that little stock bend is complete we'll be back at it. A GHE VR 32", wowsa! Put me at the top of the list if you should ever become disenchanted with her !:bowdown:

I would strongly recommend measuring all aspects of the chambers.

Now you have me concerned!!! Think I will measure the chambers and get Gad Cartridge to load a few brass black powder for the turkey hunt!
