Will, if you're choosing to hunt turkey with the gun you mentioned, you've already chosen to limit your shots. Buy the 1200fps RST's in 6s and pattern them out to 30 or 35 yds. If they CONSISTENTLY pattern well, they will kill any turkey at that distance if you place enough pellets where they're supposed to be (head and neck).
I've patterned close to a hundred different loads (factory and handloads) through a dozen different guns (12s and 16s) in the last decade in search of the perfect combo. Without fail, the high velocity/extra heavy payload shells I ran through my guns had horrible patterns. The best patterns for me have all come in the 1200-1250 fps range.
Turkey hunting is a short range game in spite of what the modern "turkey thugs" might want us to believe.
Cheers
Marcus
