Last post by War Eagle - Today at 01:26:44 PM

I stick with domestic wood, traditional style boxes. I like long boxes and one siders the best but I'll still grab a short box from time to time.

Turkey Guns / Re: Setting up a turkey gun fo...

Last post by btomlin - Today at 01:15:12 PM

I would agree with Bowguy if the gun come with chokes.  Try them 1st...you may be surprised.  My 12(I realize you are dealing with a 20) shot an excellent pattern with LB6s with the standard full.  It was too tight for my liking with a .665 since I like them under 30yrds.

I would assume Carlson's would be a good place to start if you are looking for an economical option for a turkey choke...or possible the classified's here at OG.  Good luck!

***I see that ebay has a "H&R Choke pack"(Invector style) that includes IC, F, Turkey-XF for $30.***

I see a new 3" 12 gauge now, I bet the 2 3/4" is or will be discontinued. It's a shame too, I believe that 1.5 ounces of TSS is all you need.

Turkey Calls / Re: Ben Lee

No one gives these single slates any credit for being turkey killers. Run the call and learn to open and close the sound chamber that you make by cupping this style call in the palm of your hand. Some of these get louder than others and truth be told you don't need to call loud to get a turkey's attention. From fighting purrs, clucks, normal purring and yelps this call will do it all and sound great. Practice with it and I'm sure you will be surprised with the results.

General Forum / Re: 2-3/4" vs 3" vs 3-1/2"

Biggest difference is pellet count. I have shot hundreds of different TSS loads and have never noticed a material difference in felt recoil within the same gauge. If you aren't trying to shoot past 40 then any turkey load sold today will have enough "power" to get the job done.

So the longbeards I use have 1-3/4 oz and the shells I am looking at are the salt creek ammo 2-3/4" and they have 1-5/8oz. I know pellet count is the main difference but so I am not losing anything important by going to a small shell? That was my fear I didnt want to sacrifice power or anything for a quarter inch less of a shell.

No, not losing anything important. Remember, people are killing turkeys stone dead from 20-35 yards all season long with .410's. Any turkey load you put in your gun, regardless of pellet material and assuming the gun is patterned well and intentionally, is going to get the job done. The number one difference maker when it comes to turkey loads are the shots you choose to take - take smart, appropriate shots and you can kill him with a Red Ryder.
