I am shooting the Indian creek .665 choke in my 870

Here is the pattern i am getting, at 40 yds..using hevi-shot 3" 6's, 236 in a 10" circle.

I am using the same set up as you in 20 gauge. I am pretty sure I use a tru-glo choke, but I am not positive.

Kent, I shot the Winchester HV 3" #5's for years my best patterns came from a Preston Pittman choke, which you cant find anymore. Also I have a Star Dot that is awesome, but you can rarely find them.

BBR12 is a good friend of mine, he shoots a Kicks and it does a dang good job in his gun. I believe its a Kicks .665

Also the Primos jelly head will throw a great pattern and it’s a lot less expensive than a lot of other chokes out there.

Just my $.02 Different guns like different chokes but this is a starting point. The best thing to do is find others around you that have Remington’s and swap chokes out that way you don’t have to buy 3 or more chokes.

Good luck

Best #5 patterns I've seen from a 870 yet was with a Jellyhead .670 and Hevi13 #5 3.5" 2.25oz.

If you're lookin #5 in Indian Creek, I'd lean towards the .675. .670 Kicks throws a nice pattern with Win XR, but Hevi13 beat it bad out of my gun.
