I have a mossberg 500 and I am looking to add an aftermarket choke to it. For those of you who have used this gun any recommendations on a choke for turkeys? I was thinking jellyhead but any suggestions would be appreciated from those of you who have knowledge on this one.

Thanks
Leo

Hey Leo,

You have a very wide choice of chokes to use in your Mossberg 500 and most will work very well. I've seen excellent results with the Pure Gold, Wright's (Limited production), Hevi-13, SSX and the new JEB's chokes.

Regardless of the choke, I've had best results with 3" Hevi-13 "Bronze" shells 2 oz. of either #6 or #7 shot.

Lastly, a "deep cleaned" barrel will help any combination.

Thanks,
Clark

Is that for your 20 ga. Leo ?

Go with something in the 560 to 565 rang from what I see works.   Our chokes we have 2 diffrent ones.  Now I see the Indian Creek and Prue Gold guys with good turn outs also. 
Tell us just how dead do you want them to be and we will see if we can get that for you.

Yes

For a Mossberg 20 gauge, the best I've seen is the Swarm but they are back ordered for several months currently, as is the "Ambush" turkey choke. The Pure Gold is good, I prefer the .555 and there is a new choke that will be introduced after the first of the year that is also excellent.

I've also had good patterns from the Hevi-13 turkey choke and the Trulock.

Lots of choices for your gun.

Thanks,
Clark
