I've heard the ping pong golf ball comparison many times....you'd think the tss guys could come up with a better comparison. A golf ball and an ice pick would be closer
Judging from what you've said I take it you're a waterfowl hunter.?
Duck are ducks and turkeys are turkeys.
Turkeys...I've killed turkeys with 4x5x7 Hevi shot. Ducks and turkeys with Bismuth #4s.
Lead #4s, #5s, and #6s out of a 12 ga. 4# shot out of a 20.and a 12 ga. and #4 Bismuth and lead shot out of 2 vintage 10 gauges.
A turkey is harder to kill than a duck. You break a turkeys wing and he might run off at 35 mph. You knock him down with small shot and he might get up and run or fly off.
Chop a turkeys head off with an axe and he'll run around a while..
I talk with alot of guys all over the country most won't post their horror stories with TSS on the internet....they run the gambit "I knocked him down twice, three times and he got away"....to "my pattern was so small I blew a hole in him and had to chase him down and shoot him again".
Contrary to popular belief it doesn't take a zillion pellets to kill a turkey.
Until Winchester came out with the Shot Lock Technology we never had ammo that shot #4 pellets very good.
Then the turkey hunting stunt men came on the scene that think they're cool because they shot a turkey with a small guage like a .410....everybody doesn't think they are cool or that they're some super duper turkey hunter.
Hopefully the Game and Fish will come around and outlaw some of the crazy nonsense that is spoiling our sport... Like gobbler decoys, hunting out of enclosed blinds and hunting turkeys with children's guns
