I had my best patterns at 30 yards with the remington super full choke and winchester extended range #6 shot.  Hope this helps.

Don't get too carried away with getting your pattern "super tight" unless you hunt a lot of open terrain. Where I hunt, my shots are usually 30 yds or less and the super tight pattern thing cost me last year. You know how they say, "A bought lesson is a taught lesson"? Well, I bought a FEW last year alone. Get a good, even pattern and don't get carried away with the #'s. I have a feeling my JH .665 and Kicks .655 will be staying at home this year unless I try shooting lead again.

It's hard to beat a Indian Creek .670 BDS choke.

what kind of pattern are you getting with the .670?
Are you using it with a Remington?

I know theres not much talk about them, But I used to us an Undertaker choke. For only about $20.00 it's worth a shot.

Who could forget about the famous Remington Ventilator?  I'm shooting one with some old white Hevi 13 #6.

Depends on what kind of pattern you want out of your gun.

Hevi 13 #6 or #7s with a really tight pattern:

JellyHead .660, Indian Creek .665

Hevi 13 #6 or #7s with a little more open pattern:

JellyHead .665, Pure Gold .670

Hevi 13 Mag Blends or #5 Hevi (if you choose to go there):

JellyHead .665, Pure Gold .670

Nitros: Any of the above chokes will work well with the H51013A or H510C
as for the H517T I would stay away from it with an 870, simply because it won't be worth the extra money and punishing recoil, for at most, the same amount or a few extra pellets at 40 yds.

All these are just from my experiences.
Excellent post, Slicky.

Dang nice post  :)

Probably saved him or her a ton of $$ & time chasing stuff around!
