Best turkey loads for a 20 Gauge 2 3/4" chamber

I have a Remington 1100 LT-20, 2 3/4" chamber - with Remington Modified Choke (non adjustable) that I really love but I can't find good turkey loads to save my life. All of the #4 shot shells pattern with a large empty spot right dead in the center - kinda makes them useless for turkey neck/head shots. I found this out the hard way last turkey season. The Winchester SuperX 7 1/2 shot shells pattern really nice without the 'hole' in the middle, but 7 1/2 shot are just too small for turkey I think. I picked up a box of Winchester SuperX 6 shots but haven't patterned them yet.

Anybody else shoot a 2 3/4" 20 gauge and have the same trouble finding turkey loads?

You are correct that 7.5 is to small for turkey. Twra say you can only use 4, 5 or 6 size shot. I had a 20 ga but could use 3". PAttern the 6's you have and hopefully they will pattern well for you.

I like copper plated number 4 shot for turkey.

Oh, I would like those too, but finding them in 2 3/4" is the tricky part. :)
