Out of a standard full choke would you chose a regular wad shell or the fed flite control?

I'd probably go with a 3" Winchester shell with #6 shot, pick your version. It's a straight-forward load, uncomplicated and has worked to kill many turkeys over the years from full choked barrels. I would also pattern it but suspect that you'd want to restrict shots to 30 yards, like we used to 20 years ago.

Thanks,

Hevi shot in 6s or 7s will usually make it to 40 from a standard flush full choke.  Fed FC HW 7s wouldnt be a bad choice either.

If set on lead, I'd go with the Fed FCs.  They do ok from flush chokes.
