Title: Choke tubes for Mossberg 500
Post by: moonman on May 21, 2011, 07:57:35 AM
I have a Mossberg 500,26" barrel.I bought an Undertaker tube for it last summer and that helped the pattern to the point where it would probably kill a turkey at 40 yards,but I want a better pattern and I want to try Hevi Shot in the future.Any suggestions on choke tubes to try?

One that I am impressed with is the Sumtoy choke. It has no ports .
I have found it to shoot lead and HTL in several different loads.
If yours is a 12 gauge this years Mag Blends are giving some excellent patterns in that choke.

Google sumtoy custom chokes and give William a call on his cell phone number at the top of the site. Tell him what you are wanting out of the choke.

I would suggest a sumtoy love that choke, with remington game loads punched a hole thru the target at 20 yards  :you_rock: also he is a good guy.

I'd recommend the Hevi-13 or the Carlson's. They are both working very well. There's also a new one coming but it won't be available until this fall or next spring.

Thanks,

Look at the patterns of my Mossy Super Bantam (22" bbl.) shooting TSS.  I used two different chokes, PG .555 and .570.   I originally bought the .555 to shoot Nitro 7s.  There are a lot of high quality chokes to pick from.  If you plan on  using the Federal  load with flite control wads, a non-ported choke is recommended although I have read reports that it didn't make that much difference between ported and non-ported. YMMV.
