Federal #5 turkey loads get my vote.
Don't talk the talk if you didn't walk the walk.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting.......holy kaka.....What a Ride!

I've had excellent results/luck with Remington's 3" Nitro Turkey with #5 shot. With a TKY choke from Carlson's, my longest shot was 53 yards and closest has been 12.
