Refuse to buy those high $ dollar, TSS, mangrum special turkey loads.
See no sense in it. My 16 gauge and 1 oz load of #8's kills 'em dead!
It never ceases to amaze me all the "expert" turkey hunters who've supposedly killed hundreds of gobblers across 53 states and 12 provinces and never, ever needed or even wanted to shoot one past 40 yards who think they need to heave 2+ ounces of lead or shoot the latest and greatest 12.00 a pop TSS loads. Either they just can't resist wasting money or telling lies, one or the other.
