1000fps is plenty. You only need speed if you're shooting past fifty yards to flatten the trajectory. The pattern stays tight enough you can see it start to drop fast past fifty. If you shoot the 1000fps out of a 28" barrel you will likely have a hearing safe rig. Which is important considering how much turkey hunters need their hearing.

My .410 with TSS handloads outperforms the 12 gauge lead turkey shells I used to use. Easy to miss with, though. That's why I pull out the "big 20" until I kill the first one. laugh


Thanks... its odd... The website listed low recoil 1000 fps stuff and standard 1200 fps stuff so I ordered two boxes of the 1200 FPS stuff.

I got 2 boxes marked 1100 FPS. LOL


Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?
