Yes ive tried it with TSS 3.5 Apex 8's, 8.5's and 9's. It was a waste of time compared to other chokes.
This is a complex question you ask with a complex answer.
It may sound crazy but the length of your barrel will matter.
Carlson .683
Patternmaster .665
Both proformed better out of my 28 inch barrel than any .675 tube.
With the Apex 3.5's shells any choke will get it done at 40 yards.
We are shooting 80 yards and getting 130 to 180 pellets in a 10 inch circle at that distance.
Apex has changed the game..
