I just picked up a Remington 870 Express Compact with the 21' barrel today. I plan on shooting the Federal TSS 9's. I'm leaning towards an Indian Creek choke tube but I'm not sure whether or not I should go with .555 or .562, and I was wondering what your guys' opinion was. TIA.

Carlsons 575 throws a heck of a good hunting pattern out of mine. Tight but not too tight at 20 absolutely deadly at 40

Rem SF throws a great pattern also!

I use a .560 Primos Jellyhead TSS Choke with the TSS 9's in mine, and that choke also likes Remington Premier Turkey Magnum 6's also.

IC 555/562 or RSF will work great. 
83% of all statistics are made up.

I shoot this out of ours. Do not shoot TSS, but Winchester number 5's lead. We (my daughter and I) killed 4 this year with it.

It's hard to beat the Carlson's 575 non-ported.

I hunt with the same gun and I run the IC .555 in it with the Federal TSS 9's. It's a hot core, but that's what I prefer. I don't think you could go wrong with any of the aforementioned chokes, from .555 to .575 constrictions.
