Well I was out feedin cows today and had my 223 with me to shoot varmits if I saw them and for some reason didnt have my shotgun or calls with me! Anyway came up on a couple good birds struttin with a couple of hens. I decided to take one at about 20 yards!!!! All I got was a sack full of feathers!!!!!!!!b 223 wont penetrate a turkey!!!!!!! Dang I was mad. I shouldnt have tried it but i thought 20 yards no problem!!! I messed up!!!
