Think the best thing to do is take a smattering of whatever low pressure shells you have and set up a turkey target at about 30 yards and see how many hits you get in the head and neck area. If you get 12 - 15 your good to go at that range. If you get much more then that you can perhaps extend your range out a bit. I think 35 yards is pushing it for a double with low pressure loads. But those targets don't lie. Figure out what you max distance is and then limit yourself to that distance. If anyone wants to kill a turkey at 40 yards, they probably aren't going to use damascus barreled guns.
