now was that necessary? i like changing things up. why limit myself to one gun/caliber. not into fads. enjoy messing with all kinds of guns. understand where spur hunter is coming nowBecause they are a bunch of "fad" crazed pu##ies, thats why. There, I said what they all won't admit.
It's all about what you're comfortable shooting and how it feels to you. That's all it is to it. If everyone shot the same gun the best there would only need to be one brand of gun made. I shoot my SX3 so much better than I ever have my 870 super mag. So that's why I use my X3 100% of the time. The whole measuring peckers over 12 ga vs 20 ga vs 410 has gotten ridiculous.
If he swapped to a 20 ga tomorrow all the ones that still shoot a 12 would be a googan and the biggest idiots ever. See the trend here?
guess you have to have ONE in every bunch
I was really being facetious. I have a buddy that has to out do and over do. He bought a L.C. Smith 10 gauge magnum. The first time he shot it, it almost knocked him down. I said the L.C. stood for Little Cannon. No thanks!
With this being said, I leave in the morning to head South. At least 2 of the 6 days I'm hunting, I'll be totin my way old school Model 42 410, with a fixed full choke, shooting 11/16 ounces of lead 71/2's. For the record, I have been doing this for over 40 years down there, so go easy on me.

I was never cool, always just "badsass".I think what you are saying is you were a new fad wuss turkey hunter way before it was cool?
Yeah when you start counting 20 inch and 30 inch circles but again it's so minimal it's not even worth discussing. If you miss with a 1 5/8 oz load a 2oz load ain't going to help. And I've patterned more guns than about any body other than the shot suppliers. Tss is a waste to shoot in a 12 anyway and I done it for years. If I was going back to a 12 I'd use longbeards
You are for sure right about that! Me personally, I never cared for getting a few pellets of tss in each bite of meat I took. If you like to eat shot, than have it.

All depends on where you "sit down" with one. 410 's are more of a traditional thing with us. My opening weekend spots are tight quarters, 20 yards max. Other ground I can set up within 40.
Yes, but adequate is all that matters. The same can be said for deer rifle calibers.
I almost posted this same comparison but didn't want to dirty the waters anymore than they already are. Should we all be shooting .300 Win Mags? Sure, a .243 or 7mm-08 or 6.5CM will kill them just as dead with less weight and recoil, but those are wuss guns.
Yep. A tss at a certain velocity is a the same no matter what gauge it comes out of.
That would be true for one pellet, but would be compounded by every extra pellet that hit. That was my point, but I don't think I made that very clear.
