When I shot my .690 choke, I averaged about 165 pellets in 10" circle of a number 5 shot 3 1//2" shell.....when I used the .670 choke, I dropped to 125 pellets in 10" circle, but a tighter group in the center but not much spread outside of the center.....could the .670 choke be "over constricting" the shot to where they are bouncing off each other? The 835 I am using has a 28" barrel. I haven't shot #6's out of the .690 choke yet....that is my next test, but I wanted to get some input.

From what I remember the mossbergs like a more open choke.

They had a few magblends up here, but may be sold out now. They were sold out of 3" magblends that I was supposed to pick up for another member yesterday.

Try the federal flight control in #6. Should put a few more in the kill zone. They patter much better than the #5 in my mossberg. The mag blends pattern well, and seem to have a little more down range energy imo. I can't find a 3 1/2" in the no. 6 shot.....would love to find that w.ith 2.25 oz.

Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

Is hevi-shot magnum blend made from steel? You're thinking about that hevi-metal stuff. That stuff is junk you'd be about as well off with dove loads. Magblends are made from a tungsten product.

well....i am more confused now than i was to start with....
would it be normal for a .690 choke to shoot 3 1/2" #5's better than a .675
and a .675 to shoot 3" #6's better than a .690
my best result so far has been the .690 choke with 3 1/2" #5's...@35 yards it put 180 in 10"
the .675 held tighter patterns down range on target...but the wasnt many pellets outside of the 100 or so that was on target...whereas the .690 kept more pellets in the 10" circle...just not quite as dense.
