Grandpa's Model 12 did good!

Congratulations on the big bird.  It makes it all the more special with your grandfathers old gun.

Congrats!
I've been meaning to clean up my grandfather's model 12 16ga. and find some ammo that would be effective to 30 yards then kill a season's worth of gobblers with it.

Share some photos of the gun and bird.

Fiocchi Golden Pheasant makes a nickle-plated 16 gauge load.  In 12 ga., and 20 ga., these shells shoot tight.

TRG3, nice job in traveling back in time to kill a turkey...  I am looking for some 2 3/4" Hevi-Shot loads to do the same thing with my Grandfather's ol' A-5...
