A 20 ga with "Hevi-shot" loads is perfect for a Youth hunter or recoil shy Adults. 

I've used the hevi shot blend in 20ga guns. I've killed 2 and one of my boys has killed 3.  All one shot kills. Shots limited to 35 yards. If I'm running and gunning I grab the 20. 3" turkey loads in a youth pump are stiff but manageable.

When I asked the owner to make  a “T” shot load he informed me that “T” at that FPS would be armor piercing.. When you are talking about killing a turkey at 50,60,70 yards I’ll take down range penetration since we are aiming  for the spine/head . 

I think he's making some highly exagerated marketing claims as far as complete pass thru's & armor piercing birdshot....

Hey guys,

Anyone see the new Savage 301 Turkey? They’re making a 410 and 20ga single shot break action Turkey gun. Super light weight, super full screw in turkey choke, camouflage, optics ready and optimized for Federal TSS Heavyshot ammo.

I am aware that the 410 versions are not legal in NJ.

First, what do you guys think? I think it would be an awesome run and gun setup.

Second, I was told the game council would have to approve the rule change to get it legalized. If it’s something enough of us are interested in, does anyone know where to start?

If we go for a 410 with #9 shot then we need the Pellet Gun season to for turkey. I think i would rather do the Pellet gun than 410. There are a few states that have the Turkey Pellet gun legal in season. Head shots. Hit or miss.

I wouldn’t say that T shot is bird shot .. but hey whatever.  What facts are you using to firm this opinion ? Why not call them , the  one owner is in the military and  your call will be forwarded to Germany where he is stationed ..  Then you can call him a liar to his face.

Figure of speech ...  but I’m sure that even with your IQ level you knew what I meant .😉

Personally, I think allowing the use of the .410 shotgun in NJ would be great.

It would allow me to use my muzzleloading 28 Gauge for Turkey.

Get them in close like anything else and you could kill them all day long with a .410, no different than a bow verses a gun when deer hunting

I'm trying to wrap my head around the running and gunning comments. Is a 12 gauge to heavy to carry?

I wouldn't say it's too heavy but for me and 2 boys. I'm carrying a double ground blind, 2 decoys, backpack full of gear. , Etc. If I can carry a gun that's a couple pounds lighter I will.

That's not quite my idea of running and gunning. LOL

The gun, the ammo, it all adds up if you’re covering a lot of ground.

Mine either! But if we make a few moves it adds up! LOL
