RE: ##5,shot###
Totoe, I have one of the first Mossberg 835's made. I normally shoot Winchester #4 HV's with the choke tube that came with the gun. Which is the extra full turkey tube. It smokes 'em at 40 yrds!! This year I'm trying the MADD MAX tube, with a .690 constriction. I will be using winchester #5 HV's , which is the recommended shot size. I will let you know how it patterns when I go to Pennsylvania for their opener!!
Ps: I forgot to tell you that I'm shooting 3" shells........
