20 ga for Turkey?
I recently posted about getting my daughter into turkey hunting and I'm ready to begin the process but wanted your input on the suitability of the 20 ga 1100 with a 2 3/4 inch shell. The gun does not shoot 3 inch, it is the 1100 LT.
Given that, what shell would you recommend in terms of shot size, brand, etc.? Does hevi make a shell in 2 3/4 and would that be a better choice given the limitations I face or should a std turkey load in 5 or 6 shot be suitable?
Also, what would be a reasonable maximum range with a turkey extra full choke? I'll do the patterning, but what do you think? I use 40 yrds as a pretty strict limit with my 12 ga rem 870 3 inch with #6's. thx for the input
