Without a whole long boring back story, I got a 12ga A300 that I bought for wing shooting, but I'm thinking I want to rig it also for turkeys, and specifically NOT use TSS.
I have a 20ga A300 I love, and it shoots Kinetic Gunwerks #9 TSS shells well, but TSS is getting awfully pricey even for the few shells we shoot to hunt turkeys.
I saw Cabela's has Indian Creek chokes (they have a 665 in Mobil threads) for a reasonable price, so I think I'm gonna pick one up. I have to dither around and decide what sighting system I want, but overall I think the 12 will make a nice option for turkeys with lead or otherwise non-TSS shells.
I saw some older patterns posted with A300's with LongBeardXR 5's. That's what I was gonna look at...but what else is out there I could/should look at?
I may consider TSS, who knows...but it seems with the 12 I could use something less costly and not give much up compared to the 20. If I wanted to shoot larger tss for longer shooting I guess I could try that, but I don't really need nor want to chase more reach than the 50(ish) yards I can reach with the 20ga.
Indian Creek choke with Winchester Longbeard number 6's. Get the 3-Inch 1 7/8 ounce loads, should have a good pattern with this set-up. A Red Dot and Meadow Creek rib mount and you will have a killer gun for sure....
