Yes, that Winchester is a 25-35. I have killed everything from gophers to a Grizzly bear with it. No meat was ruined on the Grizzly either...

Shrapnel, one day when I was a high schooler I was callin' turkeys down on the Tongue River and just couldn't get 'em to come up close. I had a couple 3" copper plated BB loads in my pocket, Winchester Super X Double X if I remember right. Out of of interest, not to mention a might bit of frustration, I jacked one of 'em in the old 870 and took a 50+ yard shot at a tom. He went down like a frickin' box-a-rocks. Never did it again but it sure as hell showed me how deadly copper plated BBs can be.

I guess I don't know how to make the picture show up without having to click. Sorry about that.

The geese flew into the decoys and later the turkey walked in. Both seasons were open and I had 3 shells, so... Steel shot can kill a turkey.

I love this gun for turkey type hunting. Light and compact with out loosing barrel length.
I have one deer kill with this Encore frame and would like to add a turkey kill by adding the 12ga barrel.
6.5lb and 39.5" overall 3" chamber and 24" barrel
15 yards on the left and 30 yards on the right
