I like a plain lead shotshell without all that copper/nickel wash.  I shoot the Strut Shoks by Federal in #6 shot.

Depends on the gun I'm carrying on any given day and the terrain I intend to hunt that day.
I run H13 in 3.5 Inch in 1-3/4 oz and 2-1/4 oz in both 5s and 6s. 5 boxes left.
This year I will be trying longbeards in 3.5 2oz 5s as well as 3 inch 1-3/4 oz in both 5s and 6s. I've been running h13 exclusively for about 5 years now but just for fun and variety as well as a cheaper alternative I wanted to give the longbeards a try so far my testing in two shotguns is looking very promising. I don't intend to shoot h13 this upcoming season at all to see how it goes. I don't think I'm really going to notice much of a difference except maybe in the wallet.
Some places I hunt later in the season are very thick and shots in these areas will most always be inside
30 yards or less in these situations I chose a straight traditional lead load either old federal premiums in 3-2-5s only 3 shells left and there done ,going to miss that shell or Winchester double x in 3x2x5s as well in 3 inch.
I run 4 dedicated turkey rigs and have patterned each one with these loads so I choose the loads that gave me the best results with each setup.
There He IS !

Just got a new 20ga turkey specific rig, so I got everything to load my own tss, just loaded the first 6 to test shoot with.

If your thinking of trying it, go for it.  Very simple and I enjoyed the process and know all my loads are identical!!!
