Turkeys are not the tough guys that they are made out to be, if you shoot them right. Get a load that patterns well and only shoot them when they are in range. Either will work just fine. I have a friend who has a 3 1/2 in 12 gauge and he only shoots 2 3/4 shells through it. The recoil is less and he kills as many turkeys as anyone I know (Besides me) LOL just a joke. I like shot sizes 5's, or 6's. Some of my friends are now shooting 20 gauges. You have to learn the range of your gun. Many people make the mistake of shooting to far. Don't let bragging stories talk you into taking 60 yard shoots. Let people tell there stories and then shoot your bird at 20 yards and go home with your turkey. People who preform don't have to brag. Hope this helps. Let me know if I can help with anything.
