That should do it. What does your 40 look like?

I'll shoot that later I've always been good with my setup at 40. I have a Winchester sx3 with Nikon turkey pro scope

wont have much of a head left at that range!

That's tighter than I like at 20Y but I bet your 40 is killer. Mine used to look similar and I went to a much more open choke and my 20Y is now much more forgiving and still awesome at 40.

LOL its funny how many people think lead loads aren't capable of killing a turkey

I have never tried TSS so I won't comment on that.I started turkey hunting in 2010 I went 3 years without getting a bird got my first one in 2013 my preference was to shoot a 3 1/2 12 gauge I wanted knock down power would have went with a 10 gauge if I had one.I understand why guys are going smaller gauges it's like chevys and fords comes down to what you like and works for you.I have had the good fortune to harvest 8nice birds in last 6 years with my 3 1/2 #5 long beards knocked down with 1 shot most at 26 to 32 yards 1 at 40. So for me I'm not changing a thing ! Besides I am now 66 years old ,Way to hard to teach a old dog new tricks !!

Seriously, especially at the ranges we should be shooting turkeys.  Unfortunately, I see adds and read articles touting 60 yard shots and even posts where guys say they 'accidentally' misjudged the distance quite often.  I'm not arguing tss is a great advancement, but I do have concerns that it is promoted to be a long range tool and that it may be abused.

My 1.25 oz 12 gauge TSS handloads through the light mod choke of my O/U that I kill most of my turkeys with could not be considered a long range set-up. Not everyone that shoots TSS is a long range sniper, though certainly some are.
