Turkeys with a 67 Cal Fusil

[mastrsgt]

I'm have not hunted turkeys before but I would like to give a try with my 67 cal NSW fusil. Would this be a good choice? What would be some loads I could use?

It should be perfect. You'll need to pattern it to get a good load. I'd start with 60 grains of 3f and 60-80 grains of #4s.

You're going to need some 16 ga. cards and wads and alot of time at the pattern board. I mean ALOT of time.
You should settle in on a load around 100 grains more or less and at least 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 shot. I'd recommend copper pated 6's and 4's.
You can't just dump cards, wads, powder and shot down the bore and figure that load will kill a turkey, there's alot of work to getting a cylinder bore shot gun to shoot a good pattern.
