I've have to disagree with bcarvers assesment of shot sizes at various ranges. While the #4 shot may hit harder at longer ranges, there are far fewer pellets in a #4 shell than a #6. Making a complete miss much more likely at the longer ranges. You've got to hit 'em before you can kill 'em.
Turkeys are shot in the neck and head and your pattern density is more important than shot size. Not saying #4's are a bad choice. Just make sure they put enough pellets in the kill zone at the range you are shooting. If they do, then if the extra energy makes you happy use them. If your patterns are too thin with #4's, try 5's and 6's until you get enough pellets in the pattern to do the job.
