What tube for heavy shot?

[rutnstruthunterB]

I turkey hunt with a Mossberg 835 Ultramag and I was going to try some heavy shot loads though the gun, has anyone have any advice on picking a choke tube for it?

I don't shoot Hevi Shot in my 12, but when I decided to try it I found that a factory full choke performed best out of my 870 express. I didn't like it because it shot alot lower than my other loads and I couldn't put a scope on my gun so I stuck with my Rem. 4x6 turkey loads.
We shoot the Hevi in my son's 20ga and it performs very well out to 40yrds with a factory full choke.
I'm sure there are a bunch of guys in here that can get you alot closer to the right choke.

In my 835, I had tried the Jellyhead, H.S. Strut Undertaker HS, and the Mossberg Ulti-Full ported Turkey tube that came with the gun. None of them liked hevi-shot.

The Comp-N-Choke XXX Full performed the best with Winchester Supreme HV 3.5" #6's. YOU CAN NOT SHOOT HEVI-SHOT THROUGH COMP-N-CHOKE!!!

Now thats my gun, your 835 might be different. You will have to try the different chokes with different loads to see which will work the best! Every shotgun likes different choke/loads. Mossberg also does not reccomend using the Ulti-Full choke with hevi-shot, that was the worst of the top three! I only shot one shell through it, but it doesn't matter because I have the Comp-N-Choke on it now. They say if you want to use hevi-shot in the 835, try the modified choke. I wish now I would have saved that email! Good luck!
