Unless required by the enviro-nazis, I wouldn't shoot steel thru anything, whether it is a Parker or an 1100

if you can hunt with lead it has far greater killing power than steel...no 6 in lead would be good medicene for turkey in the 20 trogan...charlie

Good question, Angel do you have to use non-tox for turkeys where you are hunting? I agree with the folks above with never using steel in any double...

Turkey Loads | |

Turkey Loads
I agree with "NO" steel through any gun. You don't need all these fancy high powered loads for turkey. Feeling the need to shoot a bird at 50-60 yards or more is rediculous. The big part of the sport is working the bird in to a close killing range. I've shot turkey with a .410 but knew I had to work him in close. Brought him into 14 yards and delivered a killing shot with a .410 #5 shot load. Have shot a good many turkeys over the years and only once have taken a bird longer than 30-35 yards. The one long shot was a 42 yard shot with an 8 gauge. Dropped him dead. Thinking it necessary to take these long shots results in wounded and lost birds...so unnecessary. Have to say, I've never lost a Turkey; all clean kills. That's only fair to the bird. So, enjoy the hunt; play the bird in to 18-30 yards, know how your gun is patterned and use a #5 or #6, 1 1/8 oz 12 ga. load or equivalent and you'll harvest the Turkey and have a great story to share with friends and family.....all these long shots just aren't necessary. Only my 2 cents worth and it may not even be worth that. Have a joyous Holiday Season everyone! and by the way, I'm seeing a lot of Turkeys in the woods these days.
