52 years, lead #5's in a 2 3/4" 1 5/8 load, back in the old days we called them a 2 3/4" Magnum, still work out to 40...........and don't kill on my end.

Yep...used to use the same shot I'd use for ducks. Note: non-toxic shots wasn't always required. And, I don't remember missing as often as I do now with all the modern contraptions. Now it's HTL, short barrels, super full turkey chokes, and sights that were once reserved for rifles. I've succumbed and am no different than most others, always looking for an edge or advantage. What happened???

The same thing that happened to roll up windows, phone booths  and carburetors on cars. Things change. 52 years from now lead might be obsolete.

Nothing wrong with rollup windows...

I just hope there are still turkeys and turkey hunting in another 52 years. Neither is guaranteed.

Sure there is . Lots of young drivers don't know how to use them!
Without Power  door locks they can't get out either.

Lots of young drivers don't know how to change a tire either, or how to use a hammer for that matter...lol
