So larger shell, more powder, more shot, etc. is bad???


Do your wallet a favor and pattern Winchester longbeard XR out of it before spending 8-10 dollars per shot for TSS.



If money is the hold up call them to 20 yards and just use a dove load or better yet just buy one from the freezer section if you just have to have a turkey. Maybe I’m in the minority or just don’t get out much, but I’ve never heard of anyone going broke hunting turkeys because their ammo is $8-$10 a pop. My ammo is the cheapest thing I use and I probably shoot more than the average turkey hunter.
