Need advice on a choke for fed heavyweight

I really like the 15g/cc that the federal heavyweight has. I've already got a great setup with hevi 7s and that's what I'm hunting with but I also would like to get a set up for my 835 with the heavyweights. I just need some advice on a non ported choke (brand, constriction) for shooting 3 1/2" 7s. I know I need one without the wad stripping tech. Thanks for any input

I shot them out of a factory full barrel,they do good and kill real good.I would say a good under taker choke, hastings etc. will work. Tru lock and sumtoy make custom one to match your set up. Do not squeeze  them too tight, a full or extra should be good.
Hunt every day as if it were your last.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

After trying many chokes in an attempt to get a decent pattern, I settled with the Choke made by George Truelock. Out of my 3" 11-87 with a 21" barrel I can get 180ish an the magical 10". And out of my 3.5" 11-87 with the 23" I am  able to get 200 ish. This with the Federal Heviweight #7 shot. Now the #6 shot does okay also.

What's the constriction on those?

I shoot a PureGold .670 with the federal hw 7s. Shoots great with a 28 inch barrel.

I shoot a Trulock in my 870 and it throws a pretty good pattern.  I'll tell you right now you don't need 200 in a10" circle to kill birds with these at any reasonable range.  I misjudged one pretty bad in a field this year and those HW 7's hammered him anyway.  They hit so hard even body hits will be lethal if they hit the right spot.

I shoot this shell in all 4 of my turkey guns. The trulock works well in the 870 but trulock doesnt make a HW designated choke for the 835 or 935.  You can use the trulock .680 as a good choice. I've tried these chokes in my 835 and 935 with good results: Im talking 150 + all the way up to 180 +/-  in the 10" and even coverage: Carlson's .675 unported, hevi-13 .676 ported, original truglo gobbler stopper unported .679 , Rob Roberts .680 unported. But...The choke I choose to use in both my Mossberg Ulti-mag guns is the Truglo Strut Stopper Xtreme (SSX) .670. Both the 835 and 935 throw killer patterns with the 3.5" HW7's and the SSX. I know this is a ported choke but the design places the ports outside of the constricted portion of the choke and it throws a great pattern with the federal shells

Call Gobbler guns/Rob Roberts gunworks and talk to either Rob or Jonathon @877-251-9955 more than likely they will be able to help.....they are really good about sending /swapping chokes to help u achieve the best pattern.
