22LrB,

Back about 30 yrs. ago, I tried turkey hunting with a 22 Magnum. I'm sure it could and would kill a turkey if you shot it in exactly the right spot on the body. However, I only tried for the head. I believe that the 22LR would kill one instantly with a head shot, but as I mentioned, I tried it 30 yrs ago and I was a lot steadier. Trust me, a head shot on a turkey is difficult under the best conditions. I personally wouldn't even attempt it today.
