I personally like hevi #6s, but mag blends s federal turkey thugs #5 are both great as well. Good luck.

I have some #5 turkey thugs now to try. Was thinking of some winchesters xx and some remington primere magnum. I have a remington extra full choke in now might look at the super full or jellyhead next.

I shoot a hevi shot choke with 3 inch hevi shot #6s. It's a pretty devastating combo, especially if you find the posted topic on how to polish your barrel. Holy smokes does it make a difference!!!!
