I have hunted with this sun for several years now. Last year I switched to the Pure Gold choke tube and I am now using Remington Hevi-shot 3.5 #5. The pattern at 40 yards is awsome. I have talked with several other choke tube makers about the use of Hevi-shot in their chokes and they don't recommend it. Comp-n-choke was one of these. If you decide to try the Pure Gold choke you can expect to spend around $60.00 for it. You can link to the site at
www.gameacc.net that is just my 2 cents worth.

Good luck this spring

I missed the post on the polishing of the barell and will give that a try. I have heard of others who have used the comp-n-choke and have had good results. I will smooth my bore and try it with the Mossberg choke. I look forward to the results.

I too missed the post on polishing the barrel, but will be giving that a try as well. I've been amazed at the knowledge that is floating around on these boards. Thanks.

i'm going to try polishing the inside of my barrel also, it looks like hell, just a dumb question though , when i do this ,do i A)leave the chke tube in and B) go both ways in the barrel with the steel wool??thanks

I would give Remington HeviShot a try. I would go with No 5's.

I had an 835 for 5 or 6 years and had great results with Federal #6. I also like Win.HV ammo.

I just came back in from shooting my gun with a new scope on it. I was using Federal #5's 3.5 inch shells with a Star Dot choke on it. I only had to make one adjustment on the scope a few clicks down and I was shooting really good patterns out to 40 yards. I had 15-20 pellets in the kill zone at 40yds. I may try polishing my barrel sometime later but I don't want to start over patterning right now.

Is the 0000 steel wool common? Where do you get it at? Was the brass brush just a 12ga. brush for brushing out the bore? Did you just put the WD-40 on the steel wool?

hcurt,
Yes, 0000 steel wool can be bought at walmart, its very common. The brass brush i used was for a .30 cal gun, just something that holds the steel wool in place. I took the small brass brush and wrapped steel wool around it so it was a plug that fit tight in the bore of the barrel. The WD-40 is a trick i learned from building engines, it just speeds the process along. You can do with out the WD-40, it just makes the steel wool cut faster.

Good luck
