I used a regular full choke for the first few years with Federal #6's in 3". I switched to a TruGlo Gobble Stopper in extra full last year, and really liked the pattern results.

On the 870 Super Mag I'm using a Rem Super Full choke with either Remington or Winchester 3" #6 with deadly and lethal results.

A buddy said today he patterned his Rem 870 3.5" with the jellyhead and 3.5" #5 Hevi-Shot.
He was most impressed with 19 pellets in the turkeys head @ 65 yds. Although its not reccommended to shoot a turkey at that range its good to know what it will do.
