Well Bigslug sounds like you will be working on a slug load of interesting proportions, I refer to light and heavy duty. I a few years ago decided to work on this load I came across in a older Lyman book, it was a 1-1/2 oz load for Turkey that was in 12 ga with AA hulls. I can't remember the powder amount but it was either a HS-6, or HS-7 I used the WWA12R wad and it was listed at 1400 fps, well that just sounded great and since I had a fairly new Remington 1100 it should be quite a good rip.........after the first shot I really didn't feel like pulling that trigger again let me tell you, and I use to take a 10 ga hunting for three years for ducks and geese and never had a issue with recoil and it was a break action to boot, so work your loads up careful and as long as it is accurate within 60-70 yards that would be just about perfect.
