Right now it will probably be the same as last year. Bennelli M2 20 guage .562 Sumtoy with #6 Hevi shot. Puts about 24 in a head neck at 40 yards. I have a Thompson center encore Pro Hunter that has been used as a dedicated slug gun. Been thinking it may be worth tinkering with. Followup shots are pretty rare. Might be worth trying TSS as well.
Good luck and shoot straight y'all

I am building a Midland Arms single shot 22" 20 gauge with a SumToy red dot mount. Lengthened forcing cone and polished bore. Vortex Venom 3 moa red dot, and .555" Indian Creek choke. 5 pounds all up with a 3" hull full of #9 TSS.
Also have old faithful......Remington 11-87 12 gauge 28" with a .660" Indian Creek and Tru Glo sights. Probably going to send this one off to SumToy as well for a dot mount and another Vortex.

I will use this 12GA 3" Browning Gold Hunter as my primary turkey gun (uses Invector Plus choke tubes). My secondary turkey gun is this Browning Auto-5 16GA with 28" Full Choke barrel. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/5NzTWf9t/Browning-Gold-Hunter-12-GA-1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/NMLCJcPB/Browning-16-GA-Buck-102-Opening-Day-Tom.jpg)

My secondary turkey gun is this Browning Auto-5 16GA with 28" Full Choke barrel. That old Auto Five kills with class!

My "modern" version, a tricked out Remington 870 12 gauge 3" gun with a 20" REM-CHOKE rifle sight barrel, Meprolight tritium sights, Magpul stock set, upgraded Wolff springs, Volquartsen extractor... (slow winter!). Or my new to me vintage Stevens M30, from 1930, 16 gauge take-down pump with a 28" full choke barrel. Got drawn for Illinois and Wisconsin.

It depends how well the 20 gauge tss loads I bought pattern , I used a Carlson extra full, non extended. 200 pellets in a 10" circle @ 40 yards. I backed off to the factory full, which is 160 - 170 pellets to be a little more forgiving on closer shots. Hoping to get a red dot mounted before this season and may go back to the Carlson since I can zero the center of the pattern.

Are you part of the problem or part of the solution?

Anyone ever used any of the springs that Ernie the gunsmith sells online for a Remington?
