I need to try some 3.5" in my Benelli
I bought some 3 1///2 inch turkey loads once, for no good reason. Guess maybe I was thinking duck gun (Beretta Extrema) for fall run and gun.... Always used a double or my "turkey gun" when spring hunting. Coming back from dropping the kids at school one morning, bunch of turkeys in the neighbor's lawn when I drove by, fall season open (common driveway and neighbor is since childhood hunting/fishing/general mischief good friend), so..... pulled into the yard, got my duck gun out of the safe and filled it with those 3 1/2" Federal super turkey loads. Walked back out the driveway; when the turkeys saw me coming the took off running across in front of me about 40 yards out...swung on one, bam! dropped like a rock. Surprised me...figured at that distance I might have to shoot twice or run up and break its neck...swung on another, probably 10 yards further...bam! same result.
