Turkey season on Stoner Creek
« on: April 13, 2024, 02:40:03 PM »
Opening morning, Keith Vance’s 54 C. Springs smoothie, a little luck, a shot cup full of TSS with a skychief wad on top. One down, hope i get time to try for another soon!

28 gauge, i think from BPI. I fill it up over 60 grains of 2f…. Im not sure how much it holds. Put a wet fiber wad over the top….

Two fine looking black powder gobblers Austin. I suppose that Black cherry call took part in the hunt. That is also a good thing for me. Guess Kentucky turkeys like a South Alabama drawl. Keep em drumming. Tim

Looks like you're having a great season. I'm hoping to catch a look at one on my place.

What size TSS and what range are you looking at for this load.
I would love to use this gun of a Wild Turkey.
54 Bergmann smooth bore.
Heading to Maine next weekend and Ontario after that.
I will be using my .620 colerain turkey choked gun that has 21 birds to its credit.

60 gns 2f, over powder card, 28 ga shot cop from Ballistic products filled with # 9 tss, over shot card, 1/2 in fiber wad soaked in olive oil on top…. Deadly at 30 yds or less
It will improve your .62/ 20 gauge also… just play around with it.
