Nice looking set up....too bad it's just a twinky gauge. ( if you can find them I would try a 3" Hevi shot #5.)

I'm fine with it being a twinky gauge, fairy dust spreader. Can't hardly wait to tickle a big ol tom with it! Lol! Especially when the stuff works as good as it does. It's something to mess with for a while and keep me busy...
Looked around at different sites for 3" turkey loads, or any 3" 20ga loads, and am very glad I have what's needed for the foreseeable future...

You know she's going to get heavy when you stuff her full of the dust.....

Been shooting a 20ga for some years now. Seems the big bore is collecting dust now..

My "new" turkey gun is a 1932 model Remington "The Sportsman" 16 gauge with a set of Briley choke tubes.
Rescued it from a pawn shop.
In 2019, I had shoulder replacement surgery and needed something with less recoil than my old Rem 870 12 bore!
This gun filled that bill!
I mulled it over for 3 years. The barrel that came with the gun is "imp cyl". Wanting an all purpose type gun, I eventually sent it to Briley and had it fitted for choke tubes.
I now have a mild recoiling, multipurpose, multi choke shotgun!
The "x-full" turkey choke shoots like a rifle out to about 20 yards before it begins to open up! 😃!
