If you shoot TSS , you need not worry about penetration what so ever at turkey hunting ranges. They are leathal well past your max range.

At the moment it is going to be 20 gauge Apex # 9's 3" 1 5/8's oz.
Always wondering wether or not to give a cluck

Pattern and forget. TSS will smoke anything out there right now. If TSS dont kill the bird because of lack of penetration  he must be wearing kevlar.

What is a phone book????
LMAO.  It's a book that was used as a disciplinary device.  It could be used at arms length or thrown to get your attention.  But that is for another post.

Having attended Catholic grade school I'm familiar with this tactic, though the preferred device was an English literature anthology.

I am looking for a way to test penetration of my rounds at 40 and 50 yards. Has anyone found anything they feel comparable to the penetration you'd want on a turkey? Any thoughts welcomed

Ballistics gel. I believe you would be looking for at least 1.25" of penetration.
