Default RE: Rifle for turkeys?

IMHO a .223 isnt that bad of a rifle to kill a turkey with. As for the bullets: a fast expanding bullet will destroy alot of meat and kill the turkey dead. A FMJ will not destroy much meat, but it will also whistle off into the next county if it does hit something hard after going through the bird. I quess the choice is yours, what bullet to use. Just be sure of your backstop when you shoot. Not only do we want to have fun out there, we want to be safe also. Hope this helps you out.
