89importeater Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 hey guys i recently purchased a mossberg 835 and was wondering what some of you other guys are shooting out of the mossberg choke, and some other choke and sheels suggestions also. i tried some winchester supreme 3.5 5 shot and wasnt all that impressed so any suggestions would be appreciated. thanxs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Re: shell/choke suggestions for 835!!! Comp-N-Choke XXX Full Winchester Supreme's 3.5" HV #6 is what works in my 835. I tried four chokes, that one pattern the best. But thats my 835, may not work for you. Got to try different loads and chokes to see which shoots the best! Good luck!

Born2Hunt Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Re: shell/choke suggestions for 835!!! I use the Comp-n-Choke also but I got a better pattern with Winchester Supremes 3 1/2 #5's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunter336 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Re: shell/choke suggestions for 835!!! I shoot the C-N-C XXX Full choke w/ Winchester Xtended Range 3.5" #6. It will also shoot the Winchester HV 3.5" #5 pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobblegobblebang Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Re: shell/choke suggestions for 835!!! I use a kicks .680 and it really kicks if you know what I mean. I like to use heavy shot #6 in a 3" round. Last year in my practice shot I scored 39 in the kill @ 40 yards. I do not like to use the 3.5" shells because if your bird is in close you can take its head off. Not good if you plan on mounting it. Good luck. P.S. I would purchase the top chokes that you get feed back on and try them with several different loads and the use of a lead sled and pick the best one. You can always sell the chokes you do not like. Ebay is a great place to get used chokes and to sell your old ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every turkey ive killed has been 40 yards or closer and dropped stone dead. It was amazing. I decided i wanted a benille superblack eagle 2 and i put a oure gold choke in it and it dosnt patter near as tight as my mossburg. great choice on gun.
