Over under for turkey

I'll get some and try it out.

I've thought about using TSS T shot for home defense, but I haven't patterned them. T shot gives 24 pellets per ounce and I'd consider that better odds than 9 or 10 pellets of 00BUCK. If you step down to #2's you get 54 pellets per ounce, meaning 108 for the loads you are looking at!

Have you fired a short barreled 12 gauge in a small room without ear protection? Pretty devastating ... on both ends. Or maybe you can offer the intruder a coffee while you dig out the earplugs. Three pellets of 00 buck in the torso = a pile of hamburger. Tungsten T shot would probably pass through an intruder like he was butter ... even if he was big as Bubba Smith. Then through several rooms in the home ... and maybe through the home next door. Sometimes there is such thing as too much gun.

I have the ATI Turkey/Fowl 20 ga with 22" barrels, awesome squirrel, rabbit and Turkey gun.

Who like to use a OU for Turkey? I like having one barrel with an open choke for most shots and one with a tight choke.

I’ve got quite a few friends who do. I’ve personally shot wild turkeys in the US with my 12 gauge 3” Magnum Beretta Model 626E boxlock ejector side by side (employing the left fully choked barrel and Remington Premier Magnum Turkey 56 gram copper plated #4 shells). Never had a problem.
