I use the Federal flight control wad 3.5 inch and, if I remember correctly, #5 shot for my remmington 870 SPS-T with thumbhole shotgun. The choke that I used last year was the Primos Jellyhead and I absolutely loved the setup. I was getting great patterns out to 50 yards away. I took two really nice gobblers in one shot last spring with this setup. If I remember correctly, the Jellyhead will run you around $40 or so.
