I would personally recommend size 6 heavy-shot. This stuff is lethal out to 50 yards and it patterns really well. It does get a little pricey, but i see it as each bullet cost less than the price of a broadhead. If that is a major problem i would say Remington's Nitro-mag buffered shells in 5 shot. They are just as lethal, but within reasonable range. Hope this helps, and good luck hunting.
Whatever #4 or #5 heavy loads your gun patterns well will do fine
Really hard to guess. You should go get a few different loads a try and figure out what your gun likes.
