Matt, what kind of range are you seeing out of your turkey loads? what is the barrel length and chokes? also what shot size are you using. I'm used to hunting turkeys with a 3" 12ga with 1 3/4oz of #5 shot and very tight turkey choke. The reason I ask is I have been struggling a bit this year not having the confidence to shoot at longer ranges, I have been hunting with a DH12 with 30" full chokes and 2 3/4-1 1/2oz #5s. I am wanting to load some 10 gauge loads and hoping to get a little more range. I am hunting the mountains of central Va and it is not an easy task to get a mtn Tom to venture closer once he's settled on a ridge to strut. I have had them hang up at 40 yrds multiple times this year and haven't been able to pull the trigger.
