Couldn't edit or update the last post so I will put a pic up here. Got him with my 20ga. Now I can work on a 20 ga slam for something different. ![[Linked Image]](http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss107/leebritt/Shooting%20Photos/file.jpg)

Nice bird.
A properly set up 20ga makes a fantastic turkey gun. Been hunting with one exclusively for about 10 years. I killed a double grand slam in 2007 with a 20ga. Good luck on your quest.

I hunted private. I've got a buddy who sells some hunts and I usually slip down and whack one with him.

Good going Lee! I predict bad things for turkeys in several states this year-you being the cause...Are you using the handloads in the 20ga? What choke? I've only killed one with the M1 but I'm thinking about re-visiting it. Hope all is well, good hunting!

David, I'm using the intros in my M2. I get really nice 40 yd patterns and have killed to 50 with it. I've got some hand loads on the way. I load 12's and my buddy loads 20's and we swap. He has killed past 60 with his 20 and the TSS. I'm using an Indian creek choke in the 20.
I've managed to kill 3 so far but haven't posted any other pics yet. I'm in GA right now but the weather has been ugly and I haven't closed the deal yet. I've got a few more states left to try though! Got to try and keep up with Rusty. He's the real killer.

Get on 'em. I like the Indian Creek in my SBE, best choke I've tried. Sounds like the TSS is the schitz.... Good hunting.
