[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 4586868, member: 2805"] That dog will hunt! I feel bad for any tom your gun gets pointed toward. One question though... with penetration of #9 TSS equivalent to #4 lead, do you think it is better to push a smaller load (1.25oz) at higher speeds, or drop the speed a tad (1100-1150fps) and send a larger payload downrange (1 5/8oz)? From what I've read, penetration at normal shotgun velocities is adequate for turkeys out to 90 yards or so with #9 TSS. (OFC, I do NOT advocate shooting birds at that distance, and would never take a shot beyond 50yds intentionally). But I can also see the value of a very fast load... much more benefit to KE, less drop at longer ranges, shorter TOF in case the bird moves, etc. Just trying to wrap my head around which would be better... larger payload or faster but smaller payload.
