I took this bird this morning with my Pedersoli Dbl 12ga. I thought I would pose the bird next to this sign since this gun meetsthe requirements for the public land I was on.

Nice job!!! I hope I am that fortunate in the next few weeks. Congrats.

excellent... outstanding job there. What kind of load do you use in that shotgun and how far did it reach out and touch turkey?

I called it in close, 15yds. No need for a long range load today. I use 70gr of APP 2f, Winchester AA wad, 90gr volume #6 shot and a felt over shot wad. I have it patterned well at 25yds and would feel confidant at 30.

In my .62 caliber I use 80 gr Pyrodex RS and 100 gr of #5 shot in a Winchester AA wad. It will roll a coffee can around out to 30 yards and that is good enough for me. I tried to pattern it one day and discovered it shoots 2 inches to the right. I have not changed the sights yet, but that does explain why I missed a couple grouse this winter.
