i prefer to hunt turkeys with a rifle where it is legal to do so. Have killed a truck load of turkeys using a .30-06 and military ammo. The .30 caliber military bullet drills a small hole through the turkey. The hole is often full of chopped up feathers.

military ammo is usually jacketed. Maybe that would be the way to go. I have some 250 gr. Hornady jacketed xtp's.. They would probably give good pass through without the expansion thereby ruining less meat. I could move them up to 50 cal. so they could use them. Any thoughts?
