overkill for Turkey
#11
OK turkey hunting rules are kind of different. In the fall we can use muzzleloader rifles, centerfire rifles, rimfire rifles and shotguns. In the spring it is shotgun only.
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.

Though my 870 wasn’t patterning well, I did decide to “test” it out after I was done patterning. I spotted a crow at 50 yards away, perched on the top of a tree. He is no longer alive. Was it a lucky hit? Not sure I wanna find that out on a turkey if I actually get one to come in to me that close.

In Mo it is illegal to use centerfire for turkey all we can use is nothing larger than # 4 shot. I use a Knight TK2000 for head shots and have no problems dropping them, the 32 cal you have will be fine for head shots. Have fun our season is coming fast also, we had a bad winter so we will see if many made it from the winter.
