Some of those 12 ga. turkey loads are brutal. Fired a couple of those out of an old 12 ga. break open my buddy picked up at a garage sale over 20 years ago. Also got to put a few rounds through an AR-50 bolt action in 50 BMG about 1999 or so at my local range. I thought that thing was gonna kick the snot out of me...... But it wasn't bad at all..... Then I found out why;.... It weighed 30-something pounds.
