Hi, I'm new to the forum and to double guns although I've always loved them. I just got my first one night before last, a J.P. Sauer & Sohn 12X12X30.06 Drilling. Thought it would make a great river gun and especially a good turkey gun. Its choked full and half and is a 2 3/4 inch gun. Took it to pattern it yesterday and shot a 2 3/4 inch Remington #5 Turkey load. My God!!!! I had a 3 1/2 inch Benelli pump that didn't kick as bad. Is this normal?
