Man, i use Hevi-shot but have killed a bunch with lead and too talk like that sounds like someone hunts more turkeys from his livingroom then the woods. Hevi-shot works but so does lead! It`s more personal preference then anything. Kind of like traditional bowhunting vs modern, both kill animals. If it works for you than thats what counts.

Heavy shot flew all over the place in my Benelli and even my 11-87....
Why fix what ain't broke.....sides the hunt is to get Mr. Tom within less than 20 yards and not those long distance potentialy to cripple and never find shots.

Turkey guns, loads, chokes have come a long ways and they continue to get better. All guns shoot a great pattern as long as you spend the time (sometime the money too, for different shells or tubes) to work a pattern. Can't see myself preaching that one kind of tube and turkey load is only one someone should have while out turkey hunting. Way to go
