With due respect to all who are writing I seem to be missing something here and have to go with what Dean is saying. I haven't shot but one turkey in my life but I believe it was killed with 1 1/4 ounces of number 6 shot at about 36 yards range from a Remington 870 as I had no side by sides at the time. From what I am reading it seems that some of the writers question the use of Damascus barrels. Did nobody ever kill a turkey before the invention of fluid steel barrels. As Dean says a turkey is a thin skulled bird and the wing bones are not that big. At reasonable ranges out to 40 yards with any decent patterning shotgun and at leas number 6 shot there should be a dead turkey.
