243 for fall turkey

I have shot at least 10 fall turkeys with a .243. Those who have told you to use the right bullet and load are giving you good advice. In the past I have shot 70 grain hornady SP's downloaded to around 2800 fps. Shoot for the butt of the wing. No problems.
I have since switched to a .222 with 50 grain hornady sp's at the same velocity, but there's nothing wrong with that .243.

I always thought the idea of turkey hunting was to call them in close. Shooting a deer rifle is over kill unless you don't eat that great tasting meat. Use a 12 gauge and call them in close and you will have a better time hunting them because you know that you outsmarted the bird.
Take your drum somewhere else and beat it. This thread is not a debate whether or not rifles should be used.
