Through this I learned that the 12 gauge vs 20 gauge turkey gun debate is a bit more complicated ... at how that breaks down with the best lead turkey load we’ve tested, the Winchester Longbeard XR.
The Winchester Model 12 always was, and continues to be, a workhorse shotgun ... The first Model 12s were 20 gauges, followed by 12 and 16 gauges in 1914 and the 28-gauge in 1937.
