Help me choose #6 or #7 (the 6's are free)

I would like to buy some Hevi-13 loads but I can't decide whether to get 6' or 7's. I have a ton of gift cards for Cabela's but I can only find 6's on the website. Are the 7's really worth paying the money rather than getting 6's for free on gift cards? These will be my first HTL loads.

What kind of numbers do you think I could expect with them through a Carlson's .575 Turkey choke?

Thanks,
Grant

The 7's put up some amazing numbers,but the 6's arent all that shabby either.$15-$18 a box/5 for 7's or FREE a box/6's.......I might just opt for the 6's.

the #6's were killing turkeys long before there ever was a #7,and still are today
it's not the harvest,it's the chase

What kind of numbers would you estimate I could put up with the 6's? I am shooting about 100 hits at 30-35 yards with lead #5 Fed mag-shok.

Thanks for all the helps guys,
Grant

My son has a Mossberg Bantam 500 with a .572 undertaker. He shoots Hevi 13 #6's. That combo gets between 115 and 125 in 10" at 40yrds depending on how clean the barrel is. My son has taken several turkeys with this setup. 2 already this year. I would not hesitate to shoot one at 40 yrds with this gun.
