I understand that hevi-shot works, But I already have accumulated many different types of shells over the years.
so why go out and buy 5 shells for $30 when I already have plenty of shells and I can buy a decent choke for that price?
I also think that it is impractical to have a turkey gun that can shoot over 40 yards when I can barley tell a tom from a jake at that range. I want my shotgun to shoot like a shotgun at 20 yards not like a rifle. and lead shot with a turkey choke allows me to have a tight pattern out to 40 yards but still have a wide enough pattern at 20 yards.
