410 for turkey?

Not sure about legality in Texas but it will definitely kill them with head shots in close

I doubt it's not legal here in Texas. The 22 caliber rule for deer went away years ago. I can't recall if the rim fire rule still exists or not.

Any way my dad missed one at just less than 15yds yesterday and we had one at 5 steps 20 minutes later at a different set up, but came in silent and was on us before we were comfortable.

Getting the close shot is what you will have to do and I would think you'd have a dead turkey with a head shot at 20 yards or less.

seen some real good patterns with the tss 9 shot

I have a lot of my friends who are hunting turkeys with
sub gauges especially the 20 gauge. All of them are
using the Hevishot Magnum Blends

This is my second turkey I got with a single shot 410 using #6 shot. I stalked her amongst the trees for a head shot.
After skinning and cleaning we got not quite 5.5 pounds!

It will work fine. You have to pattern test to find your max range. 4,5,6 shot

Agreed, the .410 will be highly effective. Try the Hevishot
Hevi-X Strut in 3" #6's in your .410. They hit hard
and pattern flawlessly

Not unless its a head shot at 10 yards

It's hard to argue with success!

TSS.

For those saying "no" or "get within 10 to 15 yards", ya need to catch up with a thing called TSS (tungston super shot).

The .410 is now a viable 35 yard turkey killer.
Progress is a good thing!

I will stick with my economical lead loads.
Thanks for the information.

TSS #9 in my wife's .410 has been good to 45 yards so far. We're testing it out to see how far it groups well with enough energy to kill a turkey

Nice! That TSS is a game changer. Expensive, but for certain applications, totally worth the cost.
