Blackpowder ML shotgun spring turkey
It is not a Shiloh, but it is blackpowder. 20 ga. Ped. 65 grs GoX 2F and 1 oz. #5 shot. I was about 1/2 mile from home so walked back to get a vehicle.......getting too old to carry them that far anymore:) My wife came with me and about 1/4 mile from where I shot him on top of him sits a Bald Eagle tearing him up Got some video. First time I have ever had that happen. Wasn't gone for more than 20 minutes. Kind of rare here in the Sandhills.
All I use are blackpowder ML shotguns anymore. Deadly on pheasants and turkey over the years. Wish it was legal to use rifles here I would try my Shiloh.

Re: Blackpowder ML shotgun spring turkey
Outstanding Sir-------------i chased them here 2 months ago with my LC Smith cartridge shotgun, while we had plenty of birds they were skittish and i wasn't successful----i loaded 1 1/4 of #5's over 75 grains of 1 1/2---a deadly combination.
Just a super job -----Well done

Thanks Bob and Dave. #5 shot has always worked well for me with the blackpowder both in 12 and 20 ga.
