Has anyone heard about the Turkey Thugs in a 20ga and how they perform?  Thanks!

My son uses them in his Rem. 870 Express with a HS Strut Undertaker choke tube. They shoot good, tight patterns and IMO are one of the best 20 ga. lead loads on the market.
Deer see you and think you are a stump. The Old Gobbler sees a stump and thinks it is YOU!

I'm not getting great #'s with them, but I like the "hunting" patterns that I get
90-120 depending on the choke
.570 tightwad, .570 Hasting, .565 GSX, .575 Carlson
and just picked up a .550 SSX today to try
it's not the harvest,it's the chase

From my youth 870 20 gauge through the SSX and Tight Wad I had a high of 43 and a low of 22 in the 10" @ 42yds with 3" #5's.  Worst lead shell I have shot from mine.

Thanks for all the info guys!

Wasn't impressed at all with 5's in my M2
With a .560 tube
Be the type of person your dog thinks you are.

Not anywhere near  good in my 870 21" with superfull.

Now you find any old grandslams in 5 or 6 shot. grab them up.
