Title: Sumtoy Chokes?
Post by: bassassassin99 on May 18, 2014, 03:02:52 PM
Has anyone tried them on a Mossberg 535 or 835?

I haven't used them on a Mossberg, just a Benelli,  will say he makes good stuff and has excellent customer service.

Good choice for the mossy.  I've ran several through my 835.  They will throw some mean patterns.  A .675 should do Ga good.  I've been 330s with one and hevi 7s and 260 with 3.5" #6 long beards.  Been 368 with nitrous and custom size choke

Ethically,  40 yards is plenty. Plus, this forum strongly enforces 40 yards as maximum allowable...

With Sumtoy, your best bet is to call William and tell him what gun you have and what you are wanting it to do.  Listen to what load he recommends and have him build the choke he thinks you need.  I will wager lunch that you will be happy with the results.

I bought a sumtoy for my 870 off the forums here and it shoots just a touch better than my Jellyhead with 3.5 longbeard 5's.The hevishot blends strung twice as tall as they were wide at 40.

Two different chokes for them.  Now the choke should shoot the 6's or 7's good.  Now that is if you have the good lot of HV13.

I will probably not shoot the blends anymore.I have 1 or 2 boxes left and the longbeard shoots better out of the 2 turkey guns I have so thats what I will stay with for a while.A friend shoots spectra shotshells and rants and raves about that so I will give them a try.I will say that out of all the shells I have they all pattern better out of the sumtoy except for my bledns.They are about 2-3 years old so I am unsure what lot they are from.Any way to check?

The Mag Blends is are a good shell just not consistent on paper.  Now they are hotter then the other shells so we have to get more aggressive on the choke.   Now the spectra shot I have never shot.  I tried to get ahold of them but never could.

Sumtoy, what choke would you recommend for a Rem 870sm and the longbeards? I want a fairly open pattern at 20 yards though, I would be willing to give up the bigger numbers at 40.

We have not been able to get them to open a lot at the 20 mark.  I would run a cheap shell for that.

sumtoy, what would you recommend with 535 with nitros I want it tight and a long range choke
Title: Re: Sumtoy Chokes?
Post by: bassassassin99 on May 20, 2014, 10:25:23 PM
or what you recommend to get the best pattern out of the 535

It has a lot to do with what shell you get.  It 7's I would run something in the 675 to 685 rang.  The mix load 4,5,6,7's I would leave with them and go with the HV13.
