    I'm a huge fan of #5 shot (lead), it hits harder than #6 and patterns better than #4's.

    So with that being said, with the new hevishot now out on the market, I now would go with #6 shot, since it will hit harder than #5 lead and pattern a heck of a lot better too due to the increased number of shot in the shell. Sort of like the best of both worlds!!

    This is what I used when I was after them with the shotgun.

    I use the Remington 4x6 Duplex load in 3 inch.
    I've tried others but these hold the best pattern in my 870 Express with a Tru Glo superfull turkey choke.

    Winchester Supreme HV 3.5" #6 work best from my gun and choke. But you have to pattern yours to see what works the best from your gun and choke.
