Anyone using a 16g? Do they make Turkey loads for them?

Not using one, but if I had that gun I wouldn't let nothing hold me back.
Quick search on 4 different sites didn't turn up any specific turkey loads(longer search might), but heavy upland shot of 1&1/8 oz. should work well. Many good loads in that weight range w/varying shot size-4 to 6-in lead or bismuth.
Marlin?
2&3/4 or 2&1/2 chamber? I remember those.
