Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do? You stop drinking and get off the carousel.

Turkey loads says it all. My son in law and his 3 boys hunt turkey successfully and the turkey loads make all the difference. The knock down power is the difference....and yes they are pricey but worth it!

I still have the 410 Dad gave me when I was a kid. Hasn't been shot since I was 17 years old. That's quite a while ago. I'll be 73 this year... LOL! Steve@B&B

Mebbie it's just a local thing... but if I had turkey loads in a .410, the LAST thing I'd ever wanna hafta use 'em on, is a turkey... hafta be way too close, and with the turkeys around here, if you don't get 'em fast, they get YOU.... about as close to trench warfare as you can get... and that's not even during hunting season!

Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest.
