Ammo recommendations

Im going to have to buy some ammo before turkey season starts. I have thought about switching to TSS. Ill be using a Mossberg 835 shooting 3.5s.
What size shot do you use with the TSS and what size choke have you has good results with. I'm not looking to shoot distance most areas where i hunt the max shot I'm going to have is 30yrds.
If you don't use TSS what lead loads do you have good luck out of.

3.5s are overkill for tss. If you use 3.5s, get some Winchester Long Beard lead.

What size shot?

In my 835 the #5 longbeard XR's do best.

#5 in longbeards with a 670-675 choke in a 835 is murder in em. My son shoots #9 tss out his 835 with a 670 pure gold choke and its unreal at 40 . If shoot 40 and under and just have to shoot a 3.5 id go with longbeard xrs in the #5 just for cost effectiveness

If your max shot distance is 30 yards I would buy the cheapest 3" turkey loads that you can find that will pattern good in your gun setup. at 30 yards it simply wont make a bit of difference as even the cheapest loads out there will destroy a Turkeys head and neck at 30 yards.
That said, if your looking to extend your distance the TSS loads are the way to go, I shoot 8's or 9's with great performance out of my Benelli but all guns and chokes can vary as to what they like best.
