Title: Shot my Turkey Thug today
Post by: Brian Stewart on March 14, 2013, 06:45:31 PM
I finally had a chance to pattern my Mossberg SA20 Turkey Thug today. I got in an Indian Creek .555 and tried some #7 Hevi13's in it. I ranged my target at 42 yards which was where the tree was I could use to lean one side of my target against. It put 162 pellets in a 10" I figured for 42 degrees outside today that wasn't too bad.
I've got a Sumtoy coming too to try. So we'll see how it does with the Federal # 7's.

It cycles great. I've not had any problems at all. I've shot 2 3/4" loads and 3" out of it and it cycled fine.
