Fabs, you are so right about the recoil of turkey loads.
Good number of years ago, when I first got my Mossberg 500 turkey gun, I did some pattern testing. And I certainly noticed the recoil.
When I got back from the range at the end of my patterning session, I consulted a chart and calculated the recoil my 2 ounce payload 12 gauge 3" turkey loads were producing..... the answer was, equivalent to a 375 H&H firing 300 grain bullets from an 8 pound rifle.
