I bought a box of the 3.5 inch shells in number 9 last year. Three dead turkeys and one lost shell plus one left over. I bought a box of 20 gauge that were mislabeled in the box, said 9s but were 7 & 9 duplex. Called Federal and they told me to send them back and they would replace them. I questioned them, "you mean right in the middle of turkey season? Send me another box" which they did. I never had a turkey come when I had the 3' Beretta O/U out with a turkey tube in the top barrel and a modified in the bottom with regular shot for close in work.
I also bought the .410s and this year hope to go 12 ga vintage gun with 1 1/4 ounce (reloads since they don't make them yet), then 20 3" A5 or Beretta, then finally .410. That's pretty optimistic though.
And after buying all of them last year Federal now has 10% rebates. The 3.5" 12s are less than $50 a box before rebates.
