what do you do when you buy a new turkey gun?

Clean it good.
Check and mark lock cap/nut for barrel.

Bunch of field loads to get real familiar with it.
hunting loads to check for function
Make sure tube only holds 2 rnds.
Clean it.
Start pattern and load testing

make sure tube only holds two rounds? whats reasoning for that? just wondering

I'm thinking he said that because it is illegal in almost every state to hunt with a gun capable of holding more than 2 in the magazine and 1 in the chamber...

didnt know that, here as long as its not waterfowl or migratory, there is no restriction on number of rounds of ammo.
