I've also got several boxes of factory 1 1/8 ounce loads like I shot by mistake last year at the Vintage Cup .

So if you get a gobble gobble bird with the 28 you need to ponder buying a Parker 410 for the 2027 spring season

Why ponder buying one when the Northern Chapter of the Cartel seems to be accumulating them. Much less expensive to just borrow one.

Nice photo! A good Turkey caller can kill then dead with a .410. Just have to get them close. It’s amusing seeing folks shooting a 3.5”
12 for turkeys, compensating for poor calling I guess.

Took the words out of my mouth Reggie. Turkey and waterfowl hunting to me are all about luring them in for a clean kill.

David that bird was all neck. I thought I had finally bagged one of the ever elusive 30 pounders that show up from time to time. Not hardly, just a tad under 24 lbs according to my handheld scale. I've never taken another with girth like that to my recollection.

That’s a great photo of the poor turkey and the gun. I bet he looked like a tank in the field.
