Anyone use a 20 gauge?

[mudhole crossing]

I don’t want to see a tom coming until he’s within range. That’s how I setup on them. BUT, we hunt 95% woods; put me in western ky with lots of fields I prolly strike out repeatedly. Getting back to thread topic, I use a 12. Just my preference.

1998 mossberg 500, factory extended choke, with any cheap 3” #5 or #6 winchesters loads I can find. But if I had a great money flow I would use tss. Heard nothing but good things.

My first dedicated turkey gun was Mossberg 500 I bought at Walmart. Shot 3” Active 21/4 oz shells. Those Activ loads made almost any gun a killing machine. Mossberg 500 is a great shotgun.

I’ll probably use the last of my 12 gauge turkey loads out of dads bps. I’m solid out to 50. If I was feeling it I could go 55-60. Rolled a yote at 60 with it.

I’ll always have my 12ga to fall back on but with ammo technology these days I’ll be using 20ga and 410
When your putting 250-300 shot in a 10in circle at 40yds with smaller calibers and ya don’t get killed with recoil it’s a no brainer for me

I’ve killed a few with my 20 gauge youth model 870 but I prefer 12 gauge 3.5” tss. Wish they made 4”. Lol

Have one all set up. Haven't kill anything with it. Killed one last season with a 410.

I harvested a nice Tom, with my Browning Gold 20 gauge, back in the fall season of 2020.

Going to buy a Tristar 20, put a red dot scope on it, tss choke, and going to try both apex and federal tss see which works best

Save your money on the federals and just buy the apex.

I'm sure every gun is different but I shot several TSS loads in my 21 inch barrel rem 870 20ga several years ago when I switched to a 20 and it wasn't even a close comparison. Apex out performed all others by leaps and bounds and is incredibly consistent shot to shot.

Come on now lol

No your thinking of BOSS TSS that’s the crap that blows out your choke and breaks your ejector.

APEX is well known and thoroughly tested, by me, for one. I use their 410, 2.75” 12ga and 16ga.
