Default Patterning Question

How many hits at a turkey head/neck/vitals is considered adequate? I shot at 50 yards this weekend at turkey targets, and only had 8 shot in neck/head. Also, does the shot have much power at 50 yards to take down a turkey?

I shoot #6 3" high velocity remington turkey loads. 1 3/4 oz loads at 1300fps.

For long shooting I was thinking changing to duplex 4X6 loads but loose velocity due to 1 7/8 oz loads.
