Default RE: What is the best turkey shell for a Mossberg 835

I was chucking alot of 3.5" loads, and was not impressed with the patterns.
The other day I tried the FliteControl 3"'s in #5 and #6, and was pretty damn impressed. At 30 yards I was putting 15-21 pellets in the brain spine, and it was one devastating group...even, tight, and if that bird is within 3 inches of my red dot on either side, it is nighty night time. I should mention that the best patterns are with my StarDot and my Northwind, the latter which I got four years ago at WalMart, and isnt made anymore. It was my origional choke, and I think will continue to be my choke. Couple hundred dollars later, and five new chokes, and I end up with the same one....go figure (keep an eye on ebay boys)
The FliteControls dont like ports, so try the undertaker.
I shoot better with 3"ers, I am less jumpy and I just like how they feel out of the barrel...
Remember, your choke/shell combo is 50%, being able to be confident and pull a good shot with it is the other 50%...keep this in mind!
