[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5566635, member: 2805"] I hunted with a semi 12g 11-87 for 5 years, then switched to a semi SP-10 for another 25 years. Made the switch to the 870 20g 5 or 6y ago and have felt no need to even use the other shotshells in the mag since. I still shuck a fresh one in after the shot but personally I don't shoot a second time if I miss with the first. Bird wins in that scenario. The second shot is only for a followup on a cripple, which hasn't yet been obvious to me thus far. I've had 3 misses since making the switch. Now switching to a 20g autoloader for doves might very well be in my future, but I just cannot see any advantage to an autoloader over the 870 for turkeys.when using TSS [/QUOTE]
