I have to agree with Topgun 3006 that with the number 6s. I love the Winchester Max for me in number 6 shot.. But, I am shooting an old goose gun with a 3 foot barrel. The shot does not even begin to expand until it clears the full choke barrel for me.. So no turkey choke needed. My biggest problem is the up close shot as I have a habit of over shooting them.. So I will keep those distance shots out of the question as I am shooting an exception as it is designed for geese which normally are out a ways..
