Craig,
While that would be a great patterning gun I don't think I would want to eat whatever you hit with it. I know Charlie would offer you half of Mississippi for it. (That was sure fun to type MISSISSIPPI). It takes me back to my 4th grade days. Dennis |

Actually if I had a shotgun that would keep the entire load of birdshot on a drink can at 70 yards I wouldn't call it a shotgun but rather a rifle . I "assume" he wants to shoot turkey so a gun that would keep them all on a drink can would be very beneficial for turkey . But on the other hand it would leave NO room for error on head shots !
