I've spent some time over on the NWTF boards, particularily the Shotgun and Shotgunning board. I consider that board to be the best source of objective information concerning shotguns, chokes,and loads for turkey hunting. Steve Canovan posts there under the name Night Hawk. Super nice guy anda multiple time NWTF national still target shooting champion. He is one ofthe many guysover there who are very serious about loads, chokes, patterning, andpractical translation toturkey hunting.

Interesting test shooting a store-bought turkey with lead 5s vs HS 5s.
