 ;) Apex, over the years I have shot most of my gobblers with a rifle...a shotgun is more like a murder unless they are on the wing...while I like my Hornet...I have shot 5 turkey with with it...I really like something with a bit my power and heavier bullet...turkey are tough...I shot one in the lung, heart area, with a .22-250 at 200 yards...He almost fell, but righted himself and ran maybe 25 yards...He was hit perfect....the wing butts is the target or the back if walking away...Honestly I would go with the hornet and hot 45 grain loads, and shoot at less than one hundred...I really prefer a .222 or 223 with 63 or 64 grain bullets.... for fall turkey...I am sure you are aware the rifle is not kosher in the spring in Pa... ???

Would love to use my 22 Hornet for turkey hunting.
 
Unfortunately we can only use a shotgun here in Mich.
Maybe some day,but I doubt it.
