My opinion on that load Charlie is inside of thirty yards with the Full choke barrel. over thirty yards I would recommend #6 shot with a 7/8 oz. load, but I still wouldn't take a 40 yard shot with it. You want all the pattern density you can get for a target as small as the skull and neck of a turkey.

Charlie,
I'd use one ounce but I would try both 7 1/2 and 6 shot. You may find the 6s do as well as the smaller shot. One never knows unless you pattern it from the position you will shoot from. Target attached. Maybe 7 1/2 right for 25 yards and in, and 6s left for up to 30? |

I would say you need a minimum of 12 pellets in a Dr. Pepper can at thirty long paces.

You see pictures on other chat groups where guys kill turkeys with a 410...it depends on the distance of the bird. I've killed a couple with my 20 gauge with 6 shot and now 2 with my 16 gauge with 5 shot. The bird I got on Saturday took both barrels at 30 yrds. My 16 is is choked M/F. The full barrel at 30 yrds was the ticket.
