20 ga loadings for turkeys

[Mad Professor]

I've a 20ga dropin barrel for my hawken I'd like to use for turkey. Anyone have any favorite/proven loads they can suggest? Have not shot any "shot" yet so details will help (types of wads, shot size, hardened shot?, etc.). Thanks in advance.

I have a GM .62cal/.20ga smoothbore drop in Flint barrel for a TC Hawken...the long range dense turkey load I settled on is:

80grns Goex 2F

Three .20ga Oxyoke wonderwads

1+5/8 oz #6's in a paper shot cup the height of the shot column

Over shot card

Puts 8 pellets in a coke can at 40yds (a 2.5" x4" target face)
Puts 29 pellets in a 4" circle at 30yds
