I just got a email from Pure Gold, they told me to use the Hevi 13 in 3", which they feel is better then a 3.5" shell

Certainly not without merit. Did they recommend the new 2oz load?

There is a huge difference in performance... but thats neither here nor there.
I shoot a pure gold .670. If for any reason you are unsatisfied with it after patterning it, they offer a money back satisfaction guarentee... so in my opinon its worth trying.
For what its worth, I'm very happy with my PG, but since I like to tinker, I'm contemplating an Indian Creek myself. Of the two you listed, I'd go with the Indian Creek... heard nothing but great things about them... and apparently they will work with you on finding the best pattern/shell/constriction for your gun if you are unsatisfied with the results. And you can only shoot lead out of the Kicks chokes too.

Jelly Head is .690, the factory choke is .695, really no difference

I agree with you about the "difference". I keep telling BOWHUNTERCOP to use the Jellyhead because I too upgraded from the factory choke in my Mossberg 835 and I had a night and day difference. Awesome choke IM TELLIN YA. Spend $45 and you will NOT be disappointed. Pay attention to performance, not the constriction number. Like i said, I used the same choke as you, same gun as you, and almost the same ammo as you (only difference is i use Double-X rather than High Velocity) and I had amazing results with the new choke.

RE: Indian Creek or KICKS Chokes?
I've got an Indian Creek in my 835 tactical and it shoots great. I shot a Rio in Kansas at 52 yards. When I was patterning at 50 yards I was still getting 25+ inside an 8 inch circle with 10-12 in head neck and spine.

Swamp, they didn't say what shot size, just the 3"

Probably talking about the 2008 3" 2oz loads.
If you are going to be shooting Hevi-13, it would definately behoove you to shoot #6 shot if you don't already.... you've no doubt heard the two shot sizes bigger energy comparison 1000 times.

Dang man that ain't hittin on much.... unless you definition of "25+" is between 80 and 120. Course if you are shooting #4s thats different than if you are using #6s. I bet that rig of yours is capable of some pretty dang tight groups.

RE: Indian Creek or KICKS Chokes?
Both Indian Creek & KICKS replied back to me, both informed me that the Winchester Supremes in #5 (I already use them) will be a great choice in either chokes, or the Winchester Ext. Range ammo would be better, thats if I don't want to use Hevi-Shot. Also I see from looking on Hevi-Shot's web page, they don't make a 3.5" turkey load

Here is a link to the PDF:
http://www.hevishot.com/images/panels/turkey/HeviShot%20Hevi13%20Sell%20Sheet.pdf
You'll find all three lengths of 12ga, with two shot charge offerings in all three standard shot sizes, as well as a 10ga 3.5" and 20ga 2 3/4 & 3".
If you are going to buy some, make sure you save your receipt and print off one of the rebate coupons! $5 back PER BOX of 5 if you buy before the end of May... so you can get up to $25 back if you buy 5 boxes. Still ain't exactly BBs for the Red Ryder... but its better than nothing.

RE: Indian Creek or KICKS Chokes?
I have both an Indian Creek .675 & .690. The .690 is what they are finding shoots the best with the new Hevi-13. At 40 yds my 935 will put 227 pellets of Hevi-13 #6's, 3.5" 2.25 oz load, in a 10" circle.
