Congratulations my man!  It's a great accomplishment to take Turkey's with BP smoothbores...got my first this spring as well.

(Used a .62cal/.20ga GM Flint smooth bore drop-in barrel for a TC Hawken, one at 40yds, one at 30yds)

Congrats on that bird.  I also got mine with the Pedersoli double gun.  One of 3 birds this spring.  One with conventional shotgun and bow as well as the BP bird.
