Mossberg 935 choke - revisited - 03/09/12
I�ve been patterning my Mossberg 935 with factory AccuMag Ultifull choke and haven�t been too excited about what I�m seeing at 40 yards. It will work at 40 but it gets a lot worse beyond 40. I�m not a long range turkey shooter but have killed a few at 45 steps that I thought were 40, hence why I�d like a little extra assurance.
I�ve looked at all the various choke tubes and shells. It seems to me that 2 likely combinations exist � Hevi shot or some derivative and a 0.680-0.690 choke tube, and lead/plated lead and a 0.675-0.680 tube. I�m partial to the Winchester Supreme high vel shells. I started using them (3�, #5) when they appeared with great success. I bought the 935 this past fall and am just now getting around to patterning. I�m still not used to turkey season arriving in March�����..
My initial goal is to find a choke that works well with the Winchester Supreme 3.5�, #5�s because I have several boxes of them. I�m not opposed to Hevi-shot but think I have a lot more work to get it working in the timeframe I�m working with. I�d like to try both but have the Winchester as my default.
Anyone have any good shell/choke ideas for the 835/935?
