the gun is a 20ga, I saw him kill a gobbler at what looked like 40 yards the other day.

I shoot Nitro 4-5-7s in my 20 double, IC and Mod. Mod barrel shoots pretty tight to 40 yards.

Saw that too, he killed a bird at a decent distance, but he missed a bird running off. My dad has a side by side 12 gauge that may see some action when I hunt with my grandads old box call.

Back in the 80's I worked in Opelika one spring. There was a sporting goods/gun store down the street from the courthouse that I would visit from time to time. I don't remember the brand, but they carried a double barrell 12 ga. with twin 3" full choke barrels. I was young and dumb and didn't buy one.

Earth's most powerful 20 gauge sxs right here. With #9 tss it shoots 300 in the tight barrel and 200 in the open barrel.

She is quite bloodthirsty.

How is the POA vs POI on the SXS?

I've tested about 10 guns and I'm yet to find one that centers both barrels with tss turkey loads. On most of them, the right barrel shoots to the right and the left barrel to the left. I have a Spanish gun that does the opposite with everything; Juan was drunk the day he put those barrels together.

I've learned how to file chokes to move the poi but that degrades the pattern. The gun in the pic has an eccentric choke in one barrel to make both shoot to the same poi.

It's essential to do some patterning before turkey hunting with a sxs. Most of them are designed to center field loads, and it's impossible to make a light gun center all loads.

But I'll bet you weren't shooting 1 and 5/8 oz tss loads? smile

I've tested several that did OK with lead loads. They just don't make them to shoot a load as heavy as many of us are using.

I was using Nitro 4-5-7s, not tss.
