Mo Dead!

[ole5beards]

After seeing endless threads on TSS and how these patterns are killer, I decided to get into loading. I know most of you guys would agree that dead is dead but some of these patterns would lead me to believe that some of yalls turkeys are more dead than others. But with the TSS you use smaller shot sizes, so Im doing something different. I'm loading lead #2's!! I won't get as many pellets in my shell as most of the TSS shells but after the damage that a couple #2's will do on ol Toms noggin I would be safe to say that then those turkeys would be more deader!! I imagine I would have about 17-18 in the 10" and maybe 21 in the 20" but a turkey ain't toting a load of 2's without being more deader!! So I'm naming this load, More Deader 2's!! Taking orders now,who wants in?!

[Gar Commander]

What ounce load? I was pondering recently what a TSS 2 would do at 100 yards. 1 hit might take him down.

[ole5beards]

I'm still working on that load, in my mind! Yeah 1 #2 at 100 yards should so the trick!

[timbrhuntr]

Hey man do yourself a favor and get a couple calico plant leaves and a couple badonka dekes and then you might be able to call'em in close and not need a hundred yard shell !

Just make sure #2s are legal where your hunting.

[jakesdad]

Just make sure #2s are legal where your hunting.

^^^^^ Agreed.#2's a big no-no in MO.

[watchemflop]

They legal in bama

[guesswho]

And I believe in some states 8's and 9's are illegal. Good idea to check where ever you hunt.

[bigdoc]

Should make a awesome coyote load. IDK About turkey?

[ole5beards]

Am I the only one that knew this was a joke?

[Johndoe]

No but now you messed it up.

[ole5beards]

Didn't want any pm's with people wanting my recipe!

[pedro]

Am I the only one that knew this was a joke?

No, but was fun seeing where it was heading!

[timbrhuntr]

Am I the only one that knew this was a joke?

No way !

I was just trying to lighten the mood! My grandad has some old turkey shells that are #2's. Years ago when nitros where the big thing he overheard me talking about them and said"I have some of those at the house" I knew exactly what he was talking about too. Sure enough we get to his house and he hands me a bag of old remington nitro turkey shells and they were the #2's. He heard how much they were and thought he'd save me some money by giving me his, I didn't have the heart to tell him, I just smiled and said thank you.

[Johndoe]

I got a buddy who shoots steel #2s. I bet he don't have 100pellets in 10" at 10yds. I keep tellin him they are not turkey shells but he has a bunch. A miss here or a wound there doesn't matter to him. Pisses me off.
Jasonb53 knows who I'm talkin bout.

[Waddle Whacker]

Just talk to ya boy at Nitro, maybe he could do you like a 0buck ,2,3 lead mix.

[ole5beards]

He's out of powder!

[Waddle Whacker]

He's out of powder!

I guess call me guilty of what your dad was. I used to load CP 2s in the 10ga long many years ago.
I still have two bags of them,... somewhere!!!
Let me know if you need any loaded, to get you by until you can get some Hevi shells.

[ole5beards]

#2's in a 10ga, not only no but HELL TO THE NAW!! That hurts my shoulder just reading it!

[Shooter]

I can load em in anything. Even doing 410s now, but with only 5 or 6 of them big pellets, the pattern is gonna be a bit thin!

Let me tell ya a funny story bout the 10,... at least I thought it was funny. Kind-of had to be there.
Me and Pop were huntin in MS, on my Grand Pa's farm years ago. We both were shooting 10s. I had the Auto, and he had a BPS with black plastic stocks. The forearm was kind-of sharp on the end closest to the shooter. I had several different loads back then, but he liked the big, heavy 2 3/4oz monster at 1100fps, with CP 4s mixed with the 2s.
Anyways, we head out from the old farm house in separate directions. After maybe an hour, I hear the cannon go off back in the far field.
By the time I get over there, I hear him mumbling about how far the shot was. He was covered in blood. On his clothes, his face, all over.
I said, you and that turkey have a big fight or what?? Dang, did that turkey bleed that much?? He said no, but look where I was sitting, and look at all the feathers where he was. He was 55yds,... Wow, what a shot he says.
He was so happy with that turkey, and was giggling and carrying on about it, he forgot what had happened.
I ask again, Yea, but where did all the blood come from??
He says, Oh, I didn't have a good grip on the fore arm, and the recoil split my hand open.
He didn't have to have stitches or anything, but it was almost like a horror flick with all the blood all over.
Wish I carried a cam back then!

No but now you messed it up.
