RE: remington duplex loads....
I really like the duplex - they pattern awesome for me. You're right on when you say that the #4's do the heavy damage and the #6's fill the holes. You never know whether that shot's gonna be 10 yards or 40 yards. A duplex gives you some extra comfort knowing that you can put some heavy lead on your target.
I would highly recommend them. This year I couldn't find any, so I resorted to Win 3.5" #6 heavy shot knockoff. They worked well. I cranked my gobbler out at 40-45 yards, and he was peppered pretty good.

RE: remington duplex loads....
The Remington Duplex loads were, for many years, my favorite spring gobbler killer. But when PA banned the use of BB sized shot, I quit using them and went to the copper plated 4's in the Federal Mag loads. My favorite Rem. load was the BBX4. What a killer that was out to 50 yards with my old 10 ga. and my new 12 ga. 3 1/2" Mossy!
