Hard to go wrong withnumber 1. You might consider #5 shot also. Almost as many shot in a shell as a 6 but a little more energy for breakingthe vertebrae bone in the neck. Especially if 30 yards turns into 35 or more. If you are really sure your shot will be inside 30 yards, go with#6 for a denser pattern.

#3 but 6 shot is definately awful light to be thinking about shooting a turkey around 30+ yards....... I patterned my winchester 1300 with a .665 choke and nitro magnum turkey #4's and had REMARKABLE patterns if you are intent on shooting sixes or fives i would stronlgy recommend giving the high density shot a try such as winchester supreme elite or actual hevi shot. . . . . you will spend roughly three times as much but i'd say increase your effectivenessat least three times as much because wounding animals should be avoided at all costs
