Last year it was Win Supreme #6, But I've seen some preliminary success with the Fed Flight Control #6. Need to do some more testing .

The vast majority of shotgunners I know prefer #5's for Toms.

i use #5. it is the best becuase it has more bb's than #4, less than #6 but more power than #6. it is right in between the two. if you are hunting in thick cover where shots will be within 30 yards most of the time, than number 6 with a full choke would be perfect. happy hunting

I use plain old #6 Federalâ„¢ Heavy Field loads through an Undertakerâ„¢ choke on my 20 gage up to 40 yards, the pattern density is more than enough and can actually shear the turk's head off at 30 yards.
