I have a lot of threads on patterning my 835s...pretty good info in them too and others' results

bassassassin99

what have you had best results with?

fountain2

Make no mistake, all of my patterns were good and killed just fine.  The jelly head did OK as did the rhino and Sumtoy.  I'd say rhino or get William to make a 695 or 698 for nitrous.

The 7s will get you the numbers and tight patterns.  I shot them with a 675 Sumtoy.  I thought I had so.e straight 7 nitrous and possibly might, but will have to look. 
Nitrous will cost more and have a wait time.  If that is what you want, then begin ordering them now and pattern now.  If you wait til January or later next year, then you may wait a while.  Hevi 7 did OK too, although I do worry about penetration and killing power at 50.
Another alternative is the long beards in lead.  They do well.  me personally, I'd experiment with a few nitros in 4x5x7 h51013..either hevi or mega weight.  They can also help you, but will recommend the big 2 7/16 oz load.  That one is brutal.  I'd stay in the 2 1/4 range.  Try the blends and straight 7.  Im not sure how the open choke would do with the 7s though

and between the rhino and sumtoy which is best with the 4x5x7 nitos?

Hard to say bud.  I'm sure they are both going to deliver adequate patterns.  Too many variables to say which will be beat.  Its really a guess and trial/error.  Sumtoy is local to me so I actually went to his shop and had chokes built and shot until we had one that worked in my gun.  I'm sure he would do the same for you.  Best would to be call and see what he says.
What are the details of your gun and what are your expectations?  What load are you looking at shooting?
I would try the Sumtoy, rhino and jelly head if I had the chance to find exactly which one your particular gun likes.  Find out and order a good supply of the same load from nitro ASAP

Look in the classifieds now.  There are some 835 chokes there and some nitro shells as well.  It could be a start to your testing

That is business right there. Good 20" as well.
