16 gauge 30" VHE for the long walks(1 1/4 oz.# 6 mags.) or a 10 gauge 30" NH or EH(1 3/8 oz #6) for the short flatland hunts. First have to find some turkeys, pickings have been very slim last couple of years.

I'll go with the 32", 10 GA. DH and feed it RST #5's.

I can understand that recommendation for body shots but for head and neck shots I prefer the denser patterns provided by #6 shot.

I agree. In most cases, if you kill the head, the body will die also.
