You are probably gonna have to call William if you want to discuss something with him in any detail. I don't think he checks email very often, and typing is not his strong suit. Just give him a call and he'll talk with you as long as needed.

Squeaky I felt the same way you did about swapping over to a 20....... I bought the gun, had it dipped, put a fastfire on it and loaded TSS for it and then when opening day of turkey season rolled around I left it sitting at the house. I decided I was emotionally attached to my 12 and would have a hard time putting it away.
Finally talked myself into carrying the 20 one morning and had to make a snap shot on a turkey that circled and came up a steep hill and finally popped up too close for comfort and not where he needed to be for me to kill him without moving a little. I had the trigger on that 20 worked down to about 2.5 lbs and as soon as I swung and got that dot on his head it was like the gun just went off all by itself.

I have never considered carrying my 12 ga to the woods since and I doubt I ever will unless I just wake up one morning and get sentimental or something.

Think of it like this, or at least I did. Any 12 ga load 2oz and under can be loaded in a 20ga. And, if I am not mistaken I think there may be a load out there just over 2oz for the 20 being tested right now. So, does it really matter if that 2oz's is being shot out of a 20ga or a 12? No, it's still 2oz and shot being sent downrange. So, why not take advantage of the lighter and more compact package of the 20ga? Made me feel a little better putting the 12 ga up.

When a 20 gauge will kill a turkey dead as a hammer every single time at 60+ yards (with TSS), why in the world would a man that is serious about turkey hunting carry a heavy ol 12 gauge? To be honest, I still feel a little guilty about shooting one last year at what was probably 55 yards in a field with the 20 gauge. I hope to not do that too often (ain't gonna say never for obvious reasons), but I was one more frustrated sumbuck by the time that situation arose no doubt! Sure was nice to have it when I decided I needed it though!

Shoot Chad. Why would you not want to do it often if you can kill them every time at that distance.

I know this guy will

X2. Hell, they are hard enough to kill without setting silly limits like 35-40yds.

my sp10 on top of my 870 express 20. mossy oak graphics, .570 jelly head and fiber sights make for a mean combo with the nitros. compare to the 10ga and you'll see why i have a nother thread looking to cut down the 10ga

i'm in shelby co. too and would love to join the tss bunch if room!

XV, what part you in? We don't let just any riff raff join up.

Thanks PCP will do that as soon as I get a chance.

Makes good sense to me and I wasn't aware of that info

Chad sounds good to me pal And by the way I wasn't all that serious about turkey hunting until this past spring. I got mad at them at some point or was just having a lot of fun. I'm undecided on which one of the two it was

lower alabaster not too far from squeaky and basscat...prob disqualified already due to the riff raff designation from many years ago

LOL! Whatever it is....if you set that 20 gauge up right (i.e. go ahead and cut that barrel down, shoot TSS, and make sure it hits right POI/POA)....you won't be caught dead carrying that heavy, long 12 gauge unless the 20 gauge is down for some reason. I had a 12 gauge setup this past season that I believe would have killed a turkey dead at 70 yards, but ended up never even putting it in my vehicle best I remember. I carried my son's 21" 870 20 gauge with me all the time as a backup to my little Mossy 20 gauge. I'm done with 12's for turkeys...not real sure why I still own one just to be honest.
