What kind of numbers should iI be getting out of my setup. Mossy 835 with jellyhead .690 shooting winchester supreme 3.5 6 shot. I just patterned it and only had 83 in 10 inch circle at 40. Thanks!

About what I would expect with that combo. A .670-.675 choke would perform better.

That's normally a little open for that gun and shell. As has been said, I see my best results from 835s & 935s with a .670 turkey choke and of course a "deep cleaned" barrel.
Thanks,

I think Clark is about right on the money. .670 does seem to work very well. So does .675.

I have had patterns in the 120-140 range with the 3.5 Win HV Supreme #6s using a Star Dot .676. The JH seems to do well with Hevi 6s, but not all that great with lead 6s.
I would try a PG .670 or IC BDS .675 if you can't locate a SD.

So, with getting a new choke is kinda out of the question for now, what shell would you recommend for my combo, hevi 5s, 6s, or mag blend?

Get some 3.5" Hevi 13 #7's and shoot your .690 Jellyhead.....your pattern should be fine and 7's will easily kill birds farther than you probably want to shoot.
