The Hevi-shot has been amazing through our turkey guns, in fact other brands don't even begin to compare. From both of our favorite turkey rigs,a Benelli SBEII and a T/C Encore Pro Hunter, the Hevi #6 shot incredibly well out to any range we/ve tested them. I've found that I can get more pellets in a pattern target at 60 than I could traditionally at 35-40 with standard lead factory loads!
Heres a good side by side comparison between standard Winchester XX and Hevi-Shot..... no contest!

I have NO reason to ever shoot another load from my turkey guns!
