The Remigton Nitro pheasant loads make an excellent low recoil turkey load, my experience is they pattern better out of a full choke tube and you can still get 15-20 pellets in the kill zone at 35 yards. Use which ever gun fits you the best, the A-5 will kill a turkey no problem. You might limit your range a little, but with the right shells you can still reach out a good distance.
