RE: Shot size for turkey ?

I agree with what Jim said as well. Also, depending on what size choke restriction you have in your turkey choke, certain sizes shoot certain pellet sizes better. An example:
I have the very same gun as you, and with using a .665 choke restriction, #5's seem to pattern best for me. Granted, #6's have the greatest amount of shot per ounce, but by using #5, or #4's, they will have much more down range energy over #6's. Again, like Jal mentioned, you will have to determine what's your best distance pattern wise while using your gun.
