mossy 835 w/kicks 660 and fed #5 with flight control wad

[Rockhound]

I patterned my gun yesterday with federal mag shok flight control wads and its purty dang good this is at 40 yard out of my mossberg 835 and a kicks 660 choke. I got 140 on paper (this is a turkey target just turned over so you can see the holes) with 40 pellets somewhere in the turkeys head neck area. My shot was about 3-4 in high. With the shot being that high and a little to the left i think if point of impact being lower i would have gotten closer to 200 on paper because the densest part of my pattern was almost cut IN HALF. Had i been 3 inches lower i would have cut out about 20 shot but added that much more of my more dense part of the pattern and i think "numbers would have been ALOT better.This by the way is an 11x8 piece of paper that i copied the turkey target to it is NOT a standard size turkey target you buy in store. DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A NUMBERS GUY AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE COUNTED NUMBERS ON THE WHOLE PATTERN I USUALLY JUST COUNT SHOT IN BIRDS HEAD!

Looks real good for #5's

That is an awesome #5 pattern.

That is by far the tightest choke I have ever heard of in an 835.  Is that their card shooter?

what do you guys think would happen if i was to go to a 670 choke in this gun because from what i read they are the recomended choke for 835 this is really the best shooting lead shell i have found with winchester HV #5 coming in second with 100 on paper and 37 in turkeys head i feel like that could improve but im not sure had to run and count the other target lol

I think so im thinking of trying a 670 or 680 to get better patterns out of other lead

[longspur]

now thats putting some #5s in there

[Turkhunter]

I've got excellent patterns out of a Kicks .680 with 5's.... which kinda surprised me to be honest.  But the 680 actually shot everything very well in the Win HV's.
