835 with SSX and 3.5 longbeardxr #5 or #6?

Hey guys, after reading a few reviews about the ssx .670 chokes in a 835, I talked myself into ordering one.  There seems to be some mixed reviews on which does better.  I know every gun will be different, just curious if there seemed to be a semi consistent shot size that was better with this setup.  My gun is the mossy oak 24" barrel ulti.  Thanks for all the help

I shoot the 3 1/2 inch #6 Longbeards and get a devastating pattern out of a 20' barrel on my mossberg 835 with the .670 SSX

It just depends on whether you like 5's or 6's better.  I have a 24" 835 and an SSX choke.  I have shot LB 5's and 6's.  Both shoot patterns that would have no problem killing a turkey at 40 yds.

There were 267 in the 10" circle @ 40 yds
