Home Forums Birds & Dogs Turkey Hunting #3 down with 28 gauge

Killed turkey #3 yesterday morning. The little gun worked exactly as planned. Now I can finish it. Going to have the shiny barrel parkerized. I camo taped it so I could carry it.

21.5lbs
10" beard
7/8" spurs

Gun 870 28 gauge with 26" special order rem-choke barrel. Rem "special full" choke
FIOCHI golden pheasant #5 shot at 1300fps

29 yards--DRT

Congrats ,

I got home in time to shoot a buddies turkey gun yesterday. He has a 1187 with the factory turkey choke. His load is the Fed 2oz #6 with the flight control wad. He missed two turkeys, both right at 50 yards. I shot his gun at 35 yards and only put 3 killing hits on a turkey target. I got the 28ga out and actualy was 3 yards farther back and put 11 killing hits on the turkey target. I am going to call him shortly to see if he has any other chokes but right this second I would take the 28ga over that 12 ga.reflex264
