i also have an 835. i like it and only use it for turkey but if i may, i recommend the Indian creek choke tube. You can get one at a local gun shop usually. they are kinda pricy but you wont regret it...best choke tube on the market as far as im concerned. i am also not a big fan of hevi shot... it is way too expensive to kill a turkey with. I use the new 3 1/2 federal flight control shells... i have used both hevi shot and these federal shells and they pattern almost the exact same. i just started using the federal flight control shell and love them! they have an awesome pattern at 40 yards and would not hesitated to shoot at 50 maybe even 60. Even though the 3 1/2s kick like a mule out of the mossberg, you wont even feel it when you nail that gobbler out at 40 yards! :-)
