Lorge, I use only the Remington 2 3/4'' Express Long Range 1 1/8 oz. #6 shot out of an old 16 ga. 1938 Fulton double and had no problem taking a tom at 42 yds. last year. Many a turkey has been killed with "non-turkey " loads. It just isn't necessary...Call sparingly, sit still, know your limits. Good calling! Tony!
