Default New turkey ammo?? 12ga 3" ??

I haven't patterned my turkey gun since I bought it, well I'm finally out of ammo, or close to it! So now what?

When I originally sighted it in it preferred 12ga 3" #5's winchesters

Should I just stick with the same? or should I try some hevi shot or something? I always thought 30yds was kinda the max range, but are new loads pushing those limits?

I really don't want to try multiple loads again to find a new load.

Either keep the same? or try some hevi #5's?

Suggestions?

Just found this online...about max ranges, etc...

35 yards -- No. 6 lead shot;
45 yards -- No. 6 tungsten-composite shot (min. 12 g/cc), No. 5 lead shot or No. 4 steel shot;
55 yards -- No. 5 tungsten-composite shot (min. 12 g/cc), No. 4 lead shot or No. 3 steel shot.


Thanks.
