Turkey Guns / 870 12 Ga Express Magnum BWTF ...

Last post by Lou2024 - February 28, 2026, 08:20:00 AM

I came home from my gun club with a never fired 870 12 gauge, with a threaded 20 inch barrel and this being my first 12 gauge for turkey hunting,my thought was to set up for non TSS ammo. At $20 box a box Longbeards XR either #4 or #5,I am looking to match the choke with a Carlson .560  Anyone have any thoughts on my setup, appreciated,  And yes at 69 I going to also look for a limb saver, but figure it wouldn't be much different then my TSS Apex 20 gauge.

Are you sure that your last name is not Ironwood?  That is a fine horn and Anthony is a class act gentleman who makes great calls! And this is a good seller - someone buy this today!

Sounds fun Fullfan, I have around 15 consecutive seasons there myself and several close friends, I think I'm out this year?

Will be interesting to see what happens in your neck of the woods!

A good quality sporting clays load with 7.5s will hammer them inside 30.

20 Gauge Turkey Gun Pattern Pictures / Re: 301 20 gauge with LB #6

Last post by BandedSpur - February 28, 2026, 07:49:15 AM

Those are great numbers at 40 yds. I wonder what the 5s are doing at 40. Never could understand why manufacturers choose 5s as the only shot size available for the 20 ga. Sixes match the payload better and will penetrate as far as the pattern will hold together. Makes no sense at all to me to load a shell with a pellet that will penetrate to 60 yds but run out of pattern at 35, as is often the case with lead 5s.

I actually think fives are the better choice in a 12 gauge throwing 1.75 to 2 ounces of them, but not in the 20 with its 1.25 oz payload.
