What ever choke you decide on I would definetly start out with Win HV #5's if you choose to go lead

I don't know how much money you are looking at spending but the Undertaker by HS Strut is a pretty decent choke for about $20.00

Yea I seen that choke. It is in a trueglow package it has the undertaker choke and trueglow sights for $35 i think.

i have a mossberg 500......i have tried #4 shot, #5 shot ...i got awesome patterns with the #5's @35 yds and closer........winchester supreme,double x magnum turkley loads, 3'', 2 oz. loads.....it's never let me down......
i personally use the factory full choke, the turkey choke at close range has too tight of a pattern , i believe for me , it's better that they spread out a lil....

Thanks, so you think the #5 would work the best? How far can this gun shoot that load effectively?

Thanks

Last season I was using the factory XX Turkey choke with the 3" 2oz Win Supreme #4's. It would put around 10-15 pellets in the turkey head target at 40 yards. It was a .670 choke. This year I bought the Undertaker, and will be patterning the same Win Supreme loads, along with Win Supreme #5's and the new Federal Mag Shok Flitecontrol #5's as well. I will shoot whatever patterns best. A lot of my turkey hunting this year will be longer distance than last season so I want to feel comfortable shooting 45 yards this year.

i wont go past 35 yds. so any further than that, you would have to find out, but i wouldnt take a shot over 40 max.......if you are thinking of shooting any farther than 35 yds., i would get a turkey choke......but you want that bird as close as you can get him.........

with my mossberg 500 i use 3 inch mags with 1 3/4 oz or 2 oz of number 6 shot with a winchester X-Full choke.

I use the mossberg 500. I recently purchased the Mossberg XXfull choke and tested out a few shells with this. The Federal Magshok with flite control wads (#5 shot) gave me awesome patterns at 35 and 40 yards. At 40 yards I averaged around 25 in the head / neck vitals and a very uniform pattern around that. The winchesters did pretty good also but not as good as the federals. Also the HEavy weight federals didnt perform very well for me.

I use the Mossberg factory turkey choke. It patterns very well with 3" Winchester #6 and Remington #5 turkey loads.
