I've been using the Remington 2&3/4 inch 1&1/4 oz of 7.5s out to 40 yards, but I'm thinking of using the 20 ga my dad bought me 57 years ago if I can find a shell for it I think will work out to 30 yards.

I have a handful of modified hammerless lightweight single shots from 3.25 lbs. in .410 to 4.25 lbs in 12 ga. with a 5.5 lb. 20 ga. The costs before modifying ranged from a $95 NIB Baikal 20 to a $150 NIB Yildiz TK12, 12 gauge with $129 in between Yildiz TK36 .410s. I exercise them yearly with TSS shot ranging in sizes from small to smaller. Some are equipped with red dots, some with adjustable peep sights. Depending on the year, some only enjoy armed walks in the spring woods with me, others do the jobs for which they were built. As in life, hope springs eternal once again this spring. The guns were made in Turkey or Russia, shooting Chinese TSS shot packed in French or Italian plastic or American brass hulls, aimed by a Cracker through either a Filipino built Burris red dot or an American made Skinner sight. All are aimed at the All American Wild Turkey. It's a globalist effort some would say. Gil

TSS #9 in 20-gauge pump is my usual. Backup is a 12-gauge semi-auto also with TSS #9. I have killed a few with my 12-gauge LC Smith using high brass 2 3/4-inch factory shells before I learned better. If I use the Elsie again for turkey hunting, I will hand-load 7/8- or 1-oz #6 lead loads for it. I had the stock glass bedded last year and intend to be gentler with it.
