Input needed from from "Old School" Hunters

OK guys here's the deal.  My Grandpa willed me his old Iver Johnson Champion single shot 12ga (fixed full choke).  I'm thinking about putting some 2 3/4" turkey loads through it and maybe taking a bird with it this year.  I realize it's probably gonna be a 30 yard and under gun...but what loads do think will be the most effecient at 30 yards ?

Thanks,
Tim

I don't think you could go wrong with Winchester Double X loads. I had good luck with them in 4's through an old Winchester pump. I had no problem killing turkeys at 30 yards with those loads.

Another vote for the double X loads

At 30 yds. Super X would be fine.

double X 5 shoot should do the trick. Can't wait to see that pic you'll b  well happy we'll say

OK...I'll try the XX first

Another vote for the XX Win. loads . But, I'd be surprised if that ol' gun doesn't pattern sufficient at 30 yards with a one ounce target load , for turkey . Be a lot more of a pleasure to shoot ,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I think you should "deep clean" your barrel and put an Chinese choke tube in it.....
