My favorite was Winchester Supreme HV 12 ga. 3" 1 3/4 oz. and 3.5" 2 oz. #6 shot. They are still my favorites.  Winchester changed the name to Double X but it's the same shot shell.  They work very well.  No reason to change IMO.

Federal 3/2/6's  3/2/5's
Winchester XX 3" 5's and 6's.  Several different ounce loads.

Before Hevi and LB we just called them inside 30yds and killed just as many turkeys back then as we do now.

Federal premium 3 inch 2oz copper plated in both 5s and 6s.
One awesome lead load. I would still likely shoot them today if they still made them.
