If you reload, Hal has some very low pressure loads, I have shot them in some very old guns without issues

I don't reload but wish I did. I'd gladly trade turkey calls for a few low pressure TSS loads.


sent you a pm, not sure if they have been going thru lately

Spring Creek Calls

After a couple rounds of patterns here's the final decision. First round will be a Foxtrot Mini Twister, 2 3/4", 1 5/8 oz of TSS #8.5's. Follow ups will be Federal 1 1/2 oz of copper plated 6's. Rooster XR 6's were tight but consistently shot left. Shot at 35 lasered yards but 40 should not be a problem.

I've been thinking about this for years and finally made the decision and acted on it. I  have a 1938 vintage Model 12 Winchester with a 32" full choke barrel. I have owned this gun for 50 years, bought from my brother in 1970. This gun has killed a ton of game including my first several turkeys and deer but has been in the safe for at least 10 years, mainly because of the barrel length and HTL ammo. It is on it's way to Briley to shorten the barrel to 26" and install HTL friendly choke tubes. Some will question my sanity, but the only way this gun will come out of that safe is make it comfortable to hunt, both turkey and ducks. I started out my turkey hunting life with this gun and plan on finishing up with it, God willing. The flush choke tubes will be modified, light full and extra full. Praying for POA/POI to be good.

Tru-Chokes? Thx!   :camohat:

Nice hunting pattern, that should easily get you to 40 with wiggle room
