Got a Mossberg SA-20 setup. I run 1 5/8oz #9 TSS handloads.
I tried a Trulock ported .585 and it'd kill a turkey but it's a BIG kinda holey pattern.
I'm looking for a nice dense but not screaming tight hunting pattern. Maybe a 250/250 or 275/225 or so.
I was a bit surprised at how blown out the .585 looked.
Thought an Indian Creek 570 or 562 but figured I'd ask here before I order.
Thanx!
I use a Carlson. 565 in my SA-20. It does a little over 300 in the ten at 40. That's with 8.5 shot

Hello, the Trulock mobile choke in 585 is an extra full .035 constriction and though not listed as a turkey choke, extra full has worked pretty well for me in my 20ga Benelli, my shots are usually from 15-35 yards. I've used 1 5/8oz of #9 TSS and a Carlsons 590 choke and got 72% of the pellets in a 20" circle at 40 yds. I've also done well with a Carlsons 575 at 75%, not much difference in total pellet count but hotter at the core. You can spend more money on a choke but like Happy, I've been pretty satisfied with Carlsons :z-twocents: . Links below.

I shoot a Code black turkey .565 and it shoots fantastic but maybe tighter than you want?
Try a Primos tightwad, it's .570 and a hell of a tube for 20-30$

My go to choke...
This is what i'm running w Apex 9s..nice hunting patter w 270 in the 10"
I tried a Indian Creek .562.
She was a smoker. Well north of 350 in the 10. I counted 357 l. Counted 171 in the 20. Everything else was right outside the 20. For being such a hot 10, it was a nice pattern.
I then tried a Jebs .560.
Clean bore did 325/176. Sight was off and the entire 20 wasn't onnthe paper. It was a pretty nice pattern to my eyes.
I adjusted the sight and sent another from a fouled bore. It did 254/233 and again was a really good looking pattern.
Both patterns were pretty much round and evenly distributed. What was outside the 20 was mostly within an inch or 2.
I'm really happy with the Jebs.
IC .562 or Carlson Longbeard XR choke, I think it is also .562
