Yup on the Fastfire but just not sure on the shells yet.
A few years ago, when I noticed it was taking my eyes longer to focus from close to far & from far to close,
I had wanted to mount a Fastfire on my then favorite turkey gun, which was a side-by-side double.
The gunsmith I was using didn't want to do it, as he thought it would de-value the gun and would likely not hold.
He told me similar for the Winchester 101 O/U I was setting up for turkey.
Seeing what you've done, I wish I had talked to a different gunsmith before I just went out and purchased two new turkey guns!
I still may end up mounting Fastfires on both double guns.

I was originally planning on lead for my short barrel and maybe Federal HW 7s for my long barrel but they've apparently been discontinued?
So then I started looking at TSS but the guys on here that shoot it say I might have POI issues with a lead/TSS combo.
My understanding is Federal discontinued their HW series once they got going well with the TSS.
I still have quite a few Federal HW 7s and 6s, but can tell you the Federal TSS 9s are a superior turkey load to them.
Anytime I think a shot over 30 yards is unlikely (about half my hunts), I'm continuing to chamber the old HWs.
I'm confident in them to a little past 40 yards.
The TSS keeps my confidence to past 45 yards (20 gauge).
Just pattern test & see what happens.
