Hi All,
I am thinking of getting back into turkey hunting this year and want to load my own shotshells. I am planning to use my 28" 20ga single shot. The barrel is threaded for tubes so I will be able to test patterns with different chokes and find out which works the best. I have virtually the identical gun in 12ga so I may load and test with this one as well. My thought is to approach turkey like I do deer in archery season, if it isn't instead about 30 yards then I am not going to shoot.
I would like to hear from those that have actually shot a Tom with their own handloaded shotshells. Any load information regarding shot size, powder, hulls, wads, etc. would be appreciated.
thanks
BB

Why be difficult, when with a little extra effort you can be impossible?
