I really like the HeviShot Magnum Blend shells.  They have 5,6 and 7s in the shell.

Half the pellets in that shell are steel. You couldnt pay me enough to shoot steel pellets in a turkey load. It's about the worst thing one could find to fling at a turkey. Personally, I'd stay away from them.

Agreed. That shell isn't worth the time.

This!  I can tell you they absolutely BLISTER big honkers in the 20 gauge loads to 35 yards easy and just wreck big ducks all day long!  Great waterfowl load.  $#!tty turkey load.

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind te most.

a buddy of mine bought a box of the 20ga 4's last year,could have drove a bus through the holes in the pattern
it's not the harvest,it's the chase

And that steel is a no-no in about every turkey choke that I am aware of. Most duck/goose chokes are in imp. cyl. or modified that shoots  a steel pattern of modified and full. Be careful.
