thx in advance!

IC 665 should work with the 3.5 9s. You can call or Email Apex on their suggestion as well.

I would almost bet that the IC .665 will shoot really good out of your black eagle with the TSS. Definitely give it a shot before spending more money. Also, the Carlson's XR .665 shoots really good in some guns as well. Not quite as dependable from gun to gun as your IC will generally prove to be, but I have some awesome patterns from the Carlson's XR .665. If you are not happy with either of them, you might give the Jeb's Headhunter .665 a shot as well, but I bet you get a great pattern from the chokes you already have in your possession. Sumtoy also makes excellent chokes. Wish you well either way.

Wild Turkey

Those will all shoot well, just depends on the pattern your looking for.   I have an old primos original jelly head in my sbe2.  It shoots everything I feed it!  It's a .660

Never shot TSS from it, that's for the 20ga.

great patterns Sixes..

These were made in February after putting on a new Holosun with the circle and dot, I was little high on the 25  and I dialed the Holosun down a touch and then it was as good as I can shoot. The circle in the sight is perfect to circle around the target or a gobbler's head.

Plus, my gun seems to shoot better a bit dirty, which is good for me.

Great patterns after you got the Holosun dialed in.
I have a a HS510C on my Stevens 410 and love it!
Bought another HS510C along with a HE510-GR today. I think I like the green dot a little better.

I am shooting a Benelli M2 12 gauge with Indian Creek 665, APEX 3 Inch 9s 2.25 ounces. Also have a Trijicon red dot.
On my other gun which is a Ithaca model 37 "Turkey Slayer,  it has a pinned/welded barrel. Briley non-ported Turkey choke, Holosun HS510C. Also shooting the APEX both are devastating!!!!

Have a good one
