[QUOTE="trubkir17, post: 2782600, member: 112555"] I have read a couple posts about turkey loads in 12ga shotguns. In Alberta we have to get drawn to hunt turkeys. When my brother and I got drawn we used it as an excuse to get new guns. My brother got an SX3 and I got a super nova. The first shots out of these guns were Federal 3" Turkey loads. I was standing on the ejection side of that SX3 about 4 meters away and the hull hit me in the face hard enough to give me a little cut. The recoil from my patterning shot drove my thumb into my nose hard enough I checked for a nose bleed. My brother and I got our Merriam's and didn't feel the kick at all. I continue to use 3's and 3 1/2's when hunting geese and don't feel the recoil that bad when hunting. [/QUOTE]
