You can kill full grown turkeys with a 20 ga. and #4, 5 or 6 shot and probably many other combinations. Turkey shoots have nothing at all to do with turkey hunting. Wrong guns, wrong ammo, wrong distance.
Turkey shoot shells use a lot of #9 and #10 shot and used to use some #11 and #12.

"12 GA. *Outlaw Shotguns
Usually 36" barrel length limit, scopes allowed.
2-2-10 shells (never use these shells in a choke with cutters!). 56' - 58' from trigger line to target"

"2-2-10 refers to the specifications of the shotgun shell. The first 2 stands for 2 grams equivalent of powder. The next 2 stands for the amount of shot, which in this case is 2 ounces. Finally, the 10 stands for the size of the shot. In essence, the name of the shell is nothing more than the specifications of the shotgun shell."
Match ammo, made in Virginia
"Currently, we manufacture 3 types of 12 gauge shotgun shells. The shotgun shells are made and loaded from carefully selected materials and are primed with popular non-mercuric, non-corrosive primers. They are loaded on automatic loading machines to ensure uniformity of load and performance. Additionally, we frequently test, and re-test the shells in various guns and barrels to obtain the most consistent patterns."
