NO on the load!!! Steel #7's game load bad idea.... If you can't afford new shells you prob can't afford to go hunting... Is sit this one out till you learn a little more about the game your tryin to take...

I agree 100%. I shoot squrils and rabbits with 7 but that is all. 4 is all I use for turkey. when you get much smaller than 4 you runn the risk of wounding the bird and letting it suffer a long slow death.

As for the crossbow, I CERTAINLY WOULDNT recommend that! You obviously have never turkey hunted so I doubt you are competent enough to properly place the shot in the animal. If you can afford broadheads then you can afford a few rounds for the shotgun.
As for a "cheap Brazilian" shotgun as long as it has a modified or tighter choke and with a decent lead or heavier than lead shot round, you should be able to competently take turkeys out to 40ish yds.

All I can say is how pathetic. A shotgun is a shotgun, even if it's a "Brazilian knock off". It will shoot a shell, if it fits. AND DONT USE A TOO LARGE OF A SHELL. IT IS ETCHED ON THE BARREL HOW LONG A SHELL IT WILL FIT!!!! Go to your mentor Greenhorn and ask him if he knows what he's doing. Sounds like he doesn't.

I will say that the #7 Heavishot loads are awesome in the right gun/choke combo. They have the knockdown power of heavier loads and retain the velocity of size shot.
If you have a chance check out the Nitro #7 loads.
