Last year was my first year carrying my 20ga 870 with a SSX.550 choke and #7 hevi. I took a fall bird with it. This year I carried the 20ga again on a fall hunt yesterday morning and hammered a hen at approx 28 yards as she fed into a food plot along with 13-14 other turkeys. I am getting approx 155 shots in a 10" circle at 40yds with this set up. This combo hammers birds. I am sold on the little 20 for turkeys.
