If Kimber made a fowler I would consider buying one.

I changed it (RP)

I recon he means Kibler. I need to watch every time because often my auto correct will change "Kibler" to "Killer". Auto correct can make for some odd sentences.

What are you planning to use the shot load for? What size shot is that? A 70 grain powder measure should provide one ounce of shot. At 25 yards 7.5s should do just fine for turkeys.

After reading an article on it, I switched to shooting ducks over decoys with trap loads, 1 1/8oz 7 1/2's.
These were in the days of lead shot on waterfowl.  I even tried #9's in 20 bore on teal - murderous with no
body penetration at all with either shot sizes, all heads and necks. The feathers would have a lot of shot in them
but none penetrating the skin.
