The best lead shot size for hunting turkeys with Winchester Long Beard XR is either #4, #5, or #6. Bigger pellets provide more penetration while smaller shot provides higher pattern density in turkey ammunition. Each has pros and cons, but the data clearly shows the percentage increase in number of pellets vs. the ballistics gel penetration depth when you change shot size. To obtain maximum range you need to enough power with enough pellets to deliver that power. The best ammo for turkey hunting is the one that gives you pattern density you need at the range you want to hunt with the shotgun and choke tube you plan to use.

I am not advocating for long range turkey hunting but if you want to be able to do so, I recommend you explore Tungsten Super Shot (TSS). That is the only tool that will truly let you reach out to extreme long range. This video is based off of first party data from my own ballistics gel testing.
