Turkey loads

[Union Co. Boy]

Haha, I'm shooting a 3.5" 2 1/2 oz TSS load. It's killing both turkeys and me with every trigger pull

Amen to that! It's brutal!!!

Try Mackspw or Rogers for longbeards

Actually, switch over to an Improved Cylinder choke,
and you would never miss a bird, maybe still have a deadly turkey gun 40-plus yards!

If it weren't for the recoil being so horrible, this might be a great idea.
It is in fact my line of thinking while using TSS, i.e. you can use a more open choke, like factory "Modified" or factory "Full", benefiting from a larger diameter pattern.
This makes even more sense if you're hand-loading with TSS #9 1/2 or #10.

I shoot factory full and it's a unholy nightmare pattern 30 yards and in. Not too tight and not too open. A trash can lid sized death swarm

Longbeards for me as well.

As I've always said, "You can't get deader than dead!"

BTW, someone pointed me to Mack's Prairie Wings a few weeks ago, and I found some on their website.
