Turkey hunting has been a favorite of mine for a long time. This year I want to do it a little different.
Apex Ammunition recently introduced their newest TSS turkey loads. The new Turkey Ninja TSS turkey loads in 410 are supposed to be the baddest 410 noggin knockers ever created. I want to put them to the test this year in my Great Great Grandfather’s Winchester Model 42 410.
As you can see, they pattern pretty good in this old 410. I shot this off hand and standing. It hit a little high and left but that’s my fault and not the gun or ammo’s. I’m impressed with the results. I still got 20 hits in a 3″ circle and 85 in a 9″ circle. If I’d actually hit the center mark, this number would have gone up significantly. Even off a little, Its a dead turkey.
This was my Great grandfather’s gun. It was made in 1941 before the war. It was passed down to my dad to squirrel hunt with as a kid. I actually dove hunted with this when I was about 6-7 years old. Such an awesome gun and I hope to take a turkey with it later this year.
