You have a good many choices. The JEBS chokes have done very well with Browning guns. I'd say more people are shooting WLB #6s than #5s but the #5s do well. I'd encourage you to try the #4, #5, #7 Magnum Blend shells. I've seen really excellent patterns with them and they really rock the target, paper or turkey.
Thanks,

Thanks Clark. What constriction do you like for Mag Blends? Also, what constriction for L/B 5's or 6's?

You're welcome. The constriction, exit diameter, can depend upon the design of the choke but I've found that the JEBS with a .655 e.d. does exceptionally well with both of the shells that you mention. If I were strictly shooting the #6s, I'd go with a .650.
You might also want to look at this article that was in "Turkey Country" magazine. I shot 32 different chokes through 7 different guns with WLB shells with #6 shot http://www.nwtf.org/hunt/article/choking-winchester's-long-beard-xr That might also be of some help.
Thanks,

Thanks Clark...That's a huge help!
