What I’m hunting with this year
« on: October 27, 2021, 11:42:40 AM »
For anyone interested here are two pictures of the patterns I shot and will be using this year. Benelli 20ga. 26” barrel, Apex TSS 3” 1 5/8” #9, Carlson’s .555 TSS and .590 extra full, measured 40 yards. Hope this link works for the pictures.

If everything goes right, I’ll hopefully be hunting the tale end of our fall turkey season this month.

Personally, I'd hunt w/ the .590.  Tight 10" and very forgiving 20".  I utilize a Carlson's .580, which isn't shooting a softball size pattern at 30, but a turkey killing pattern both close and at distance.

What surprised me was the total pellet count inside the 20” was almost the same, I’d thought there’d have been a bigger difference between them, just shows you really need to shoot some patterns to see what you’re getting. I did shoot a nice Tom this fall with the Benelli and the .555 with Apex.

Thank you, I took a tom with it this fall and I’m looking forward using it in the spring.

Thought about buying a Carlson .580 for my 20ga this year.
