I use the modified choke that came with my Remington 870 Express, and can dump em up to 40 yards. I like using 3" #5 Winchester Double X turkey loads. Seems to do me just fine with my 28" barrel.
exactly what I use for my self. I've dropped them out to 40 yards no problem with xfull and 18 1/2" barrel.  Thou in my light shotgun( weatherby PA459) it kicks like a mule. But I never feel it if I'm aiming at a tom :ibcool:

This video is pretty good for first time turkey hunters getting their gun set up and understanding it's effective range -

I got the 20 gauge all set for turkey the first year Hevi-Shot released their Magnum Blend.  This load carries 5, 6 and 7.  I combine it with a Primos Jelly Head choke.  And while I have only killed turkey with my bow since then, I have loaned it on many occasions and it seems to be deadly medicine on poor Ole' Tom.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

Will a semi auto Benelli have less felt recoil then a pump action if shooting the same load?
