I use two 20ga guns for turkey................
• Mossberg® Mdl 500C w/26" Accu-Choke barrel
• Remington® (Baikal®) SPR220 SxS w/26½" barrels.
I use a Swarm™ .555" choke when shooting lead in the Mossberg®, Winchester® Supreme™ 1 5/16oz # 4 shot. I use a Hastings® Extended .570" Choke for when shooting Hevi•Shot™ 1¼oz #6 Hevi13™.
For the Remington I use two Colonial® Extended Turkey Chokes sized .575" and .570" with Remington® Nitro Turkey™ 1¼oz #5 shot.

I use 2 primary weapons for Turkey,
12 gauge, 3" T/C Encore Pro Hunter loaded with 3", 2oz, #5 Hevi-Shot
and my Mathews Z7 bowrig will also get some hunt time in the blind this Spring as well.

3 1/2 inch #4 2 1/4 oz federal flitecontrol out of a mossberg 535. Patterns better at 50+ yards than anything else I've used. I used to not think that the 3 1/2 inch shells were worth the shoulder tenderization but these are well worth it if you're not shooting more than four at a time.
