I'm not going to get educated my friend you are way to caught up in pellet counts. I'll be completely honest I have shot my gun in the past at 40-50-60 yards and feel confident I couldnt fit a turkey head in the center of my pattern without killing it. I can also tell you I am confident I'm not driving 3 hours to where my guns are kept keeping in mind I live in Liberal NYC "thats another can of worms" to prove something I already know to someone on an internet forum. Will you get a bettern pattern with smaller shot absolutely but will that smaller shot have the needed 2lbs of KE to break a turkeys neck that is debatable. My point from the begining is at longer ranges you have a higher percent chance of taking a turkey with 5s vs 7s. Keeping in mind that % is not 100% so luck would play in to the mix and is probably why most hunters do not advocating such shots.

If you hit a turkey with 130 pellets or 30 pellets in the neck Dead is Dead 100% of the time inside 50 yards but move that out to 60 yards and 50 pellets of 7s none may lack the necessary KE to kill the bird where as 10 pellets of #5s although not 100% and will never meet your standards of a true 60 yard pattern still much higher percent than #7 shot when 0 of them have the necessary KE I don't care how many you have if they arent penetrating what is needed to ethically kill the bird. it comes down to KE not pellet density. Assuming pattern density of 5s at least meets the minimum at the point where 7s run out of energy whether its 45-50-55 yards I'm not certain.
