Hi all,
Just bought a new 535. I just ordered some 3" (I aint shooting 3.5 through this thing!) 2oz magnum blends. It came with a factory choke but I'm not sure if its hevi-safe. Anybody else shooting the combo? If so what choke works well for you? I live 15 minutes from Trulock so I'm thinking of seeing if they'll let me pattern through a few until I find the best one
Welcome to OG first of all and congratulations on your new Mossberg 535. I have owned 3 of those guns and currently have 1 with the waterfowl and turkey barrel.
I would encourage you to "deep clean" the bore prior to shooting it. That process will really help you get your best patterns and remove all of the "gunk" that is generally found in new shotgun barrels.
If you're not familiar with the process, you can click on the allaboutshooting banner below this post and find the article,
"Cleaning a Shotgun Barrel" to see the guidelines.
The turkey choke that comes with that gun is a "lead only" choke. George Trulock makes some excellent turkey chokes and it's great that you are so close to him and can try several of his chokes to see which one works best for you.
Good luck to you this spring with your new turkey gun and please let us know what you find works best.
Thanks,
Clark
