Ed, I am 67 and have been plagued with turkeys on my farm for years. I call them Hoovers, ie.vacuum cleaners, they get into a field and eat up lots of grain intended for the dove and quail. Over the years I have shot at least ------, well lots of them with anything with .030" of choke and regular 1200 fps 1 1/8 oz. of 7 1/2's. Usual shell is the Rem STS Light Handicap. At 45 yds. or less just put the bead right under the head I'll have holes all in the head and neck. At 25 yds. a lot of the head goes away. Don't know how close you hope to shoot one at but you might draw a head and neck on a piece of cardboard and see what your gun will do. The density of 7 1/2's out of a good shell is really something. Something to try. JH
