I agree too.... but I went threw a sheet load of 20 ga turkey loads when my boys used a 20 ... never cared for that heavy shot...but alot of guys love it... for me its those winchesters that I prefer.... come in a black box and I always bought 5 shot 3" shells and the patterns were awesome out of a Charles Daly  & the youth mossberg... but all guns are different and you need to find what that particular gun likes ....I would definately give those winchesters a try and you may need to order them from Cabelas ...thats the only place I ever found them for a 20 ....

Another suggestion, if possible being a single shot if you could have another shell in your hand on the forearm ready to put in quickly if needed could be the difference between a wounded bird and a dead bird.

Well we will see how it goes!  I need some time at the range anyway so this will be a fun search.  Hopefully next turkey season ill have my hands on an inexpensive 12 gauge with a full choke.  I am thinking another single shot believe it or not.  It would be my 4th one!   I love em, and they sure are nice on my pocket book considering I am basically broke because of college lol.

Ill take some pics at the range of the different patterns and get back to you guys.   


Thanks for the tip Limhangerslayer, a good idea definitely.

Don't rule out a newer 20 ga with a full turkey choke ... a lot of friends have them and they are as effective now as my 3 ea 12 ga shotguns (and they don't kick as much).
