Quote from: zelmo1 on May 29, 2014, 06:27:15 PMI want to shoot a gobbler with my old SKB model 7300 3" 20 ga pump. My dad bought me this gun 30 years ago and it would be cool to get it done with it. I shot lots of ducks with lead back then so I know it will do the job. It has a fixed full choke. I am just looking for a place to start. I am partial to Winchester and Federal. If anyone has seen any Longbeards in 20 ga, let me know. I did not see them on the Winchester site, but someone here may know if they are planning on having one for next year. Thanks, Al Baker
Quote from: Marc on May 30, 2014, 01:07:13 PMFederal Heavyweight and Hevi-Shot are great choices, and I would say would probably outpreform a 12 gauge with lead...If you want to stick with lead, I really like the Fiocchi Golden Pheasant loads. 3" 1 1/4 oz of #6 nickle-plated lead shells... I patterned some of these out of a standard full choke in my 20 gauge this year, and had adequate patterns to 35 yards... With a good turkey choke, I am sure this could be improved.Next season, I will likely spend the cash and get a good 20 ga. choke, and get some of the Hevi-Shot (or Heavyweight) loads in the 20 ga... A lot easier to carry that 20 ga., and probably a lot more comfortable to rest it on my knee for long periods of time.
