I ordered a mossy 500 super bantam for y daughter. 20 gauge . 22 inch barrel. What all suggestions do you all have for a good choke a shell combo. I'm thinking about getting a Carlson. 575 constriction with some longbeard ammo. Thanks. Any suggestions appreciated.

Do the the Carlson 575 but get a good shell. Got with the Fed HW 7s or Hevi 7s and leave the LBs on the shelf. Love my little 500 and wish it had a 22" barrel rather than the 26".

Buy a Mini 510 20 gauge, throw a standard pull stock on it and you got a pretty dang good little turkey rig. Those are 18.5" barrels however.

My son has one of the 510's, and with the stock factory full flush mount choke, this gun has been responsible for 6 dead gobblers, and one with an SSX choke.
The only difference is a full adult stock.
Great little gun, even with an 18.5" barrel.

I ordered the regular youth. 12 to 13 inch pull. My wife can use it to.  I've always shot Winchester ammo. But I may give Federal a try with this gun.

My 12 year old shoots the youth Mossberg with Carlson turkey choke and Winchester #5's.  1 1/4 oz loads it's lethal to 40 yrds

Put some Apex tss 9's in it and never look back...

Nice!  What barrel length and choke?  Shot size and weight?  Thanks

I don't have one with a Mossy but I'll bet my next pay check the 1-5/8oz 9's will out pattern any other factory load on the market... period!

I would put a 560 to 570.  It should work fine with the Federal 7s.
