David,

From extensive testing I can tell you that 100-110 grain of Triple 7 loose ffg powder and using the 3 1/2 “ shot cups loaded with 2 ½ oz. of #4, 5, or 6 should produce a pattern @ 30 yards like no other. You should maintain roughly 380-425 #6 shot pellets in a 30” circle. Hope this helps, thanks.

I was talking to Gordy Edwards at Knight rifles about the TK2000 and what he felt was a good turkey load for it. That was his answer to an email I sent him. But as I was saying, that might be a little much in the recoil department for you. I have a bunch of smaller shot cups that load in the TK real good. I have not patterned them for a turkey load though. Maybe if I think of it, I will take it out on the range. As long as it is good to 30 yards, is actually plenty. But according to Gordy, on film, they have a kill at 72 yards with the TK2000. I also have a friend who lives to hunt turkey. He collects shotguns like I do muzzleloaders. And his go to turkey gun is a Knight TK2000 with #6 shot. He claims he took a turkey at 45 yards once... And I have no reason to doubt him.
