    I shoot a 16ga SXS or my Browning A5. Duplex loads #6's & #2's. this load puts them down fast. nothing better than seeing that Tom flapping around after a full load to the head. Wild turkey taste the best when golden brown.

    With a 17hmr you could zap them from 200 yards without wind. Seems too easy almost

    "Ain't this somethin'? I told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. "Make your life go here, son. Here's where the people is. Them mountains is for Indians and wild men." "Mother Gue", I says "the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world," and by God, I was right. Keep your nose in the wind and your eye along the skyline."

    Ever watched a Turkey's head ? Have you ever seen it stationary, for more than a nano-second ?
    good luck with the rim-fire.

    Ideal set up for turkey? Gravy, cranberry sauce, a little stuffin' and some chilled white wine. And then a big ole fat nap!
