I have shot a few chokes out of mine, but the combo I am hunting with this year will be a Comp-n-Choke XXXfull and Winchester HV 3/1.75/6's or XX Mags 3-2-6's.

I have the same 1300 -- good purchase.

Just a little advice...hang on tight when you pull that trigger.

I would try an Indian Creek .660 in the Winchester 1300 with 3" Federal Turkey Thugs #5 and #6 Lead loads.  Also, Hevi13 #7's.

I have a 1300 w/ kicks .665 and shoot extended range # 5 or have used win xx #5 and get good results.

I have a 1300 and being the cheap guy I am I bought Winchester xx shells in 3 inch and I use a truglo choke. I am sure I am not getting as good of patterns has heavy shot but I get probably 70 to 80% shot placement inside of the ten. Then again maybe my gun just likes Winchester ammo or maybe my gun is the dum dum gun that likes odd things
I also use a Truglo Gobbler Stopper choke (.665) with mine while using Winchester Supreme HVTL, 6 shot 3in & have much success with this combo ever since I bought it in 2002. My friend had one that he was using a Jellyhead with & mine patterned just as well so I never changed it. Please let us know what you decide to go with.

My buddys got a 1300 with a .660 pure gold shootin hevi 13 6's. He broke 200 with his first shot and ended up with an average around 180.

I have a bit of a 1300 and a choke addiction. I have 3 1300's and about 15 or so chokes. So far the best for me has been 262 in a 10" at 40 with and IC and "6 hevi shot. That was after about 25 shots through a deep cleaned barrel so Im sure I could up it a bit.
