So I'm going to give partner a hand that is maximum and a really good fit...KQJxx AKx x KJxx...and we're not even cold for slam then (on this layout we need just a little cooperation in clubs).
And even with this hand he might have jumped to 4S.
Since he might not be maximum, and he might not have a perfect fit, I think we're not really close to slam.

Too many hands where 4 is the limit...

But you don't have to go beyond 4S to show a slam try.
I would not object to bidding 4C then signout. If partner then ventures to the 5 level I think that should eliminate a lot of hands where 4 is the limit.Combine this with a serious (or non-serious depending on style) 3N availability and partner should not expect much more than this for a non-serious try.

Hi,
I think a slam try should show magic cards / a maximum hand, which I dont have.
Move the Queen of heart to spades / or clubs, and I would make the slam try.
With kind regards
Marlowe
