Been killing turkeys with 1250fps, 1 1/8oz of #8's for 20 years!
I agree....ain't spending $30 for 5 rounds when a 25 round box of ammo costs ten bucks or less! 😜
Dead is dead!

I had a shoulder replaced. I'm horribly right handed, so shooting left handed was a "no-go"!
A very good friend sent me a Mossberg bolt .410.

3" .410 #9's were/are impossible to locate

Out of desperation, I ordered two, 5 round boxes of 3", #9 TSS! SIXTY BUCKS! 🤯

In the meantime, I'm hunting with some 30+ year old, 16 gauge, Remington "Hi-Velocity" #7.5's I dug out of a trash can! 😉
