I'm shooting 6s this year. In comparison to the 5s I have used, they have about 100 more pellets. That, and I shoot a standard full choke, and don't shoot past 35, 40 yds Max.

It's not one of your choices, but I shoot a blend of hevishot....4X5X7 from Nitro company. Pattern density is the main reason, besides much more kinetic energy with the hevishot vs lead.

My last four turkeys were taken with Rem Wingmaster HD #6 (I voted hevi-shot #6) and they seem to work well for me. In '10, I knocked a bird over at 46yds with it. (dropped, flopped, stopped)

I'ved tried Hevi-shot #4, and loved it, but my newer Briley X-full hevi-shot choke tube likes #6 a lot better.
