Good job man! The first gobbler is a 3-4 year old no doubt.

Re: preferred load
I prefer TSS #9 hand loads 2oz with factory bead.
But I have several guns and shoot sub gauges as well. Like 9.5 in the 410 and 9's in the 20ga.
Vortex Venom on 20ga, AT3 RD50 on 410, bead on 12's.

Re: 410 pattern
I hunted them with 12 ga. ammo that didn't do much better at 40 yards for years. If I wanted to make it a turkey gun, I'd do some work. If I just wanted to say that I killed a bird with a 410, I'd limit it to 30 then put it in the closet once I checked the 410 box. Yep 25 years ago that was the cas...

Re: 410 pattern
I probably wouldn't hunt with that pattern knowing what a 410 is capable of.
That will kill one at 30 but I wouldn't want to limit myself to that range.

Re: Cheap red dot options
Follow up review of the AT3 Tactical RD50. The sight zeroed in perfectly on my Stevens 301 .410. Hunted with it in Kentucky and the sight performed great, no issues. I have a Vortex Venom on an 870 20 gauge and I honestly like the RD50 better. The sight window is fine and I really like the large ro...

Re: First 410 kill NM 78 strong!
yeah 7/8oz load is a bit much. LOLsoiltester wrote: ↑April 22nd, 2019, 3:51 pm Congrats on a dandy
Maybe a bit over kill if it set him backwards
Gobbler had 1-1/8" spur
AT3 RD50 is tough little sight. Very happy with it so far.

Re: Looking into the future
How do you imagine turkey populations and turkey hunting 5 , 10 and 15 years from now? Hopefully populations will at least remain the same or increase where needed. It'll be interesting to see if TSS is still a popular shell from the big manufacturers and how they will affect hand loaders supplies....

Do the Tristate have cycling issues like the M2?

Re: Tristar 20ga cycling
Need a choke recommendation too. He'll be shooting 1-5/8 #9.
I'm thinking IC 555 or 562.
