I have a Browning Gold hunter 3.5", What would you suggest as a good reach-out and touch something, turkey load and choke tube?

I have a 3" Gold, my setup has been a .680 Trulock Precision Hunter choke and 3" 'Hevi-Shot' in #6. I would now try the Remington 'HD' in #6.

I am running a Comp-N-Choke XXX Full with 3 1/2", 2 1/4 oz of Hevi #6 and getting about 230 hits in a 10" circle at 40 yrds....
My Golden Hunter has the 24" long barrel on it...
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

Longbeard 5s and a choke in the .660-.665 range.
Those 5s have plenty of energy way out.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!
