dbHunterNY Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Adrian a RT Prostaffer on here uses a 20ga Benelli Nova and stacks turkeys with it every year. I think he might use Hevi-shot #5s, but I'm not really sure about the stuff other than his gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 20 gauge is lots of gun for turkeys, just experiment with the 3 inch turkey loads and see what one your gun likes best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colorado bob Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Number 6 shot. 3" Federal. You want as many pellets as you can get in the 20 ga. CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdhunter39 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 the 20 gauge is a good gun , i would suggest trying different shells out , then see which one patterns best for your gun . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkinslinger Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I would experiment with some Hevi 6 shot or Federals newer 7 shot turkey shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter109 Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 yea thanks guys you all start to hunt yet well i have to go well latter and thanks for the info guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 First off, you better shoot that gun and see how much it will kick! I had a single shot 20 Gage full choke, for my daughter. That little thing would rock me back! She did fire it one time, never again! This is why she only wants to bow hunt. You put a high brass shell or turkey load in there you will be surprised at how much kick it will have! I was!!! If she has been shooting for a while, then your probably ok. If not, well, be ready!
