Default RE: Good Turkey Ammo for Moss. 835 12 Ga.?

With my 835 i shoot the Winchester HV #6's or Federals #5's. With the Winchesters having a slight edge. I have the factory choke and the H.S. strut choke....not much difference between them.

I will say that the best thing i did to improve the pattern of my 835 was to polish the barrel. I first herd about this right here on this forum. I got a bag of 0000 steel wool and took a rifle cleaning rod with a brass brush attached (the brass brush just holds the steel wool) and wrapped steel wool around it until i had a "plug" that just fit inside my barrel. I hooked the cleaning rod to a drill and polished up and down the barrel until it shined like a new car. Adding a bit of WD-40 speeds this process along, same as honing the cylinder in motor. After this i went back to the patterning board and I was amazed at the result.....
