Now that modern loads can turn sub-gauge shotguns into true turkey killers, it’s time to get a modern sub-gauge shotgun. The SA-28 Tactical Turkey is a small-framed semi-auto gas gun with a 2¾-inch chamber designed specifically with that in mind. At only 39 inches long, this 6-pound featherweight sports a straight stock and a contoured pistol grip, providing a short but maneuverable 12.75-inch LOP.

However, there’s still a market for hunters demanding the precision and specifications from their ammo that only handloading can deliver. Federal’s new Custom Shop can provide the magic they’re looking for.
