Title: Mossberg 500 Tactical Turkey
Post by: OakHunter on March 13, 2016, 09:27:44 PM
I just bought a 12 ga Mossberg 500 tactical turkey with the 20 inch barrel. Using the factory choke, I plan to try some 3 inch Winchester Supreme HV #5 and 2 3/4 Winchester Double X #6 that I have laying around.

Does anyone else have this gun and what shell/choke combination are you using?

Thanks

I helped my buddy set his up, and the Pure Gold .670 is what we went with.  He's shooting Hevi 13 3in 2oz #7 with great results.

I'm using a Jellyhead choke with #6 long beards in mine and like how it's shooting.

I use a 535 Tactical Turkey which is the same gun, but with a 3.5" chamber.

Using a .660" Indian Creek choke with 3-2-7 Hevi 13 shells gets me in the 170's at 40 yards.
