I've tinkered with a few shot loads but but have yet to come up with a definitive shot load for taking turkey. Rifles are verboten, only smoothbores allowed. I have available to me #6 shot only; my other sizes & supply are still in Va.
My smoothbore is a .62 (20ga) and a 38" bbl. Any suggestions? Also what loads do you like and shoot.

I use #6 for my normal hunting load, and if I want top really want mess some things up I drop 12 # 4 buck down the barrel

I'm relegated to using shot if I want to hunt turkey here in Maine. That's about the only thing I'd care to hunt with shot. I don't hunt ducks or other birds so shot is not as important for me except for turkey. But I do shoot ball in my smoothbore and it collects deer just as good as a rifle.
