turkey gun and loads
 

what would be your favorite turkey gun andload...minewould be for the moment the 8 ga and the load would be2 1/2 ounce of no 5 s lead...the the secound barrel will hold a load of 2 1/2 ounce of no 2 s in lead....charlie

As always, my turkey load is twelve gauge with 1 1/8 oz. of #6 shot or ten gauge with 1 1/4 oz. of #6 shot. Seems to do the trick nicely out to thirty-five to forty yards with full choke barrels.

Thinking about going over to the dark side and using modern ammo. Of course, I have a Hosford wall thickness gauge now and will stick to over 30 thousands mwt.

I plan to use no 4 in one barrel and no 6 in the other. I have a 12 gauge PH with crazy full chokes I plan to use mostly

My single shot 10ga Flintlock likes 120gr 2ff blackpowder with 2 .135 card wads over powder, 2oz. #6 nickle plated shot with 2 overshot cards. With jug choked barrel load is good to 40 yards.

mine , 10 ga with 1 1/2 oz 6's 3 frame with .035 choke in both barrels. can't wait :corn:

10 gauge hammer gun choked deadly and deadlier. Favorite load is 4 drams black powder and 1 5/8oz '#5 shot stuffed down a brass hull. Kills out to 60 yards.

10 gauge 1 1/2 ounce #4 with a SP-10 wad above 30 grains SR7625 and set off with a CCI 209M .

10 GA GRADE 0 LIFTER, N GRADE, 2 NHs.

12gauge brass hull with 3/4 oz of nickel 5s topped by 1/2 oz of copper plated 6s pushed by 3 1/8 dram FF Goex BP. Two 12 gauge Ox Yoke wads over powder, two 11 gauge Circle Fly over shot wads, sealed with wax, then coated with Elmers glue. Out to 30 yards.....winner, winner, turkey dinner!

Jim, that load sounds like a good one out to 40... what are your chokes?
