I guess I'm ready to bite the bullet and buy that Benelli that I've been wanting. I plan to order a 24" rifled slug barrel, and a 26" vent rib w/ chokes. I'd rather shoot the 20 gage, but I'm unsure, as to how much better the range/performance will be with a 12 gage.
I've shot a couple of Turkeys with a 20 ga. full choke, and they were just as dead as one shot with a 12 ga. Any advice....or opinions?

I remember reading somewhere that the difference in the energy on a slug was not much different between a 12 ga. & 20 ga., but I can't remember where I read it. My thinking is......If the gun is more fun & comfortable to shoot.....then I'll shoot it more, and therefore become more proficient with it. But if the difference in "knock down" power is huge.....then I'll rethink and probably go with the 12 ga. Anyone know where to find this info....???
