I prefer #5 shot (or even #4) for Turkeys too. Especially in the FC wads. But the reason #6 will remain most popular is because that is the largest shot allowed in many 3Gun matches and a lot of folks use the #6 turkey loads for the heavy plates and spinners. I shoot maybe 4 or 5 #5 Turkey loads annually, but I shoot 20 of the #6 loads in 3Gun matches. The sales figures are skewed by the alternative use.
