Which Choke for Lead - 835/935

I am just wondering what everyone is having luck with in their Mossberg 835's and 935's for lead. I have a bunch of the old Fed Premium Pre-FCW and need to pick a choke out.

I will be shooting 3.5/2.25/5's out of a Mossberg 935 with 24 inch tube. The stock Ulti-Full choke breaks 120 every shot with these shells, just looking to get around 140 - 150.

Thanks!

getting 120 #5's with the factory turkey choke is pretty d__n good
it's not the harvest,it's the chase

I know, but I have to tinker...

I think I will hunt this season with what I have and order a SumToy after the season goes out.

Yes it is and it shoots lights out in my stepdad's 835, but I tried it in the 935 and it didn't do as good as the factory choke.

My 835 breaks 150 with a stardot .676 and W-W high velocity 3.5" 2oz 5. reflexl

If you were gonna try a carlson .675 in a ported 24" 835 would you buy a ported or non ported choke? A local store has them both for the same price.

I have a 24" 935. last week i shot win hi vel lead 3.5 2oz 5s out of an Indian Creek .675 and got 143 in the 10 ring @ 40.I also shot the same loads thru a kicks gt .680 and got 140 in the 10 ring @40.That day it was 38 degrees so i bet they would both break 150 in warmer temps. You should try some 3.5 winchester #4s out of the stock ulti-full you might be surprised. those #4s will give a good pattern with the stock mod and full chokes.nothin thats gonna break any records but the overbored barrels tend to pattern #4s better than std diameter barrels

I will pick up a box to try out.

I can definitely hunt with what I got now and be good. Just always like to improve!
