Got my Apex in and have been very anxious to see what type of pattern I could get so I ran out to the range for a quick session.  My range table was at 30 yards and just used a turkey head target.  POA was center of neck (green dot).  If POA was a bit lower pellet count would have been much higher. I still am going to shoot it at 40 yards, but at this point it is probably going to be post season.

WOW! That is unbelievable. I should have my Mossberg 930 in this week. Looking into Long Beard 6s, but not sure what choke to try. That Indian Creek seems to really shine with the TSS loads

Longbeards in my 835 with an Indian Creek did very well.  IMO I have never had an Indian Creek that I felt let me down in whatever gun I have had on in.

What length barrel are you shooting?
26 inch barrel or less will like tubes different than 28 inch barrels.

From our experience shorter barrels have did great with .675 tubes Indian Creek, .676 Hevi Shot, and .665 Patternmaster.
Longer barrels 28" like a more open choke like Carlson .683 Long beard. But as you know each gun may like a different tube. We have a Rob Roberts choke on its way after we try it I'll tell you how it does.
We are shooting Apex 3.5 shells. Find someone that has some choke and try them it can get costly to buy them all.
Hope this helps
