[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5055717, member: 1409"] Thanks for all the comments, and please keep them coming :) No doubt, the 9's will get the job done out to 30 yds with a pretty open choke. What I failed to mention earlier is am also wanting to make this a reduced load, probably 1 1/8 oz. I still have a few 20ga 1 1/8 oz "reduced" loads of the old Federal HW's in #7 (which are "heavier than lead" but not the heavier TSS). I personally killed my 1st longbeard of last year (with these) at under 20 yards, getting to watch him strut, gobble, spit & drum under 40 yards for several minutes before pulling the trigger. To me, this is just so much more what turkey hunting is all about. I'm not aware of any #10 TSS being commercially available, so this would be a handload. I guess one concern becomes would the #10 TSS completely penetrate a turkey's skull at a little greater range, let's just say 40 to 45 yds. I suspect, even with a modified or improved modified choke, the pattern density might be adequate for this to still be a 40-plus-yard turkey killer. [/QUOTE]
