So do you think that the model 24 could handle the occasional high-brass load for my turkeys?(16ga.)Maybe I should clarify that that Peerless has had a grand total of about 3 or 4 High brass loads shot through it,but that may have in the end been too many. I patterned it with two before I took it hunting and incinerated a pop can at 25 yards with it (so I figured I could wipe out a turkey humanely at that range with that success)and shot it once at a turkey in the fog and completely missed lol. When I said that I wasn't afraid to shoot high brass it was more in saying that my barrels were in good shape. Thanks for the replies.
