It is really hard to say until you try. The same load shoots different depending on who makes the choke and the gun. You'll just have to try and see. Also, #4 buck is illegal for turkeys in most states; you may want to check the regs.I'd recommend you try some different loads in #4, #5 and # 6 and wee if you can find a turkey choke some where ( they are extra full). Try the different loads with the different chokes at different yardage to find what combo works best for you.

Steve's right, you use bird shot on birds and buck shot on bucks, isn't that right! 
Time waits for no one--
treasure every moment you have.
