Default Hevi Shot revisited

I understand the properties of the new HS material and its success at still target competitions held by the NWTF.
I checked out the statistics of HS vs. lead at Remington's website http://www.remington.com/whatsnew/he...et_pattern.htm
and the facts raise a few questions. They are using a HS choke on the new shot and a Ventilator on the lead shot, but increased performance is seen minimally at 40 yards and more at 50 yards.
How many hunters out there are pulling off shots at that yardage.
Most birds are probably shot under 35 yards these days anyways, so putting the hammer to a turkey is still more cost effective using lead, right? Your feedback is welcomed.
