Default .669 vs .665 vs .658

I finally figured out that I have a .669 hastings choke. Do yall reckon going to a comp-n-choke in .665 or a .658 would give me a tighter pattern?
Benelli SBE 24 in. barrel.

Also, is the .658 too tight for the winchester x-tended distance? I havent heard much about it on this site, but the local gunshops claim they can't keep it on the shelf!

Personally, in my findings, I shoot my standard full choke that came with my SBE. It's constriction is .695. I also shoot hevi-shot 3 1/2" #5's. At 50 yards I can put 16 pellets in a turkey head and neck target. just my opinion though.
