I shoot a ported 24" 835 along with a ported Carlson's .675.  I have some MagBlends because I bought several boxes but it actually likes Hevi 6's best.  I have seen higher 10" numbers than I get, but not better hunting patterns at 40 yards.  But 175 Hevi 6's will sure schwack a tom at an ethical distance.

Just bought a new Mossberg 835 24" barrel that has factory ported barrel.

My question is should I use a non ported choke tube since the barrel is already ported or does it not matter if the choke is ported or not?

Also what's a good choice for a turkey to start out with patterning the gun? I like to shoot either hevi-shot #6 or  magnum blend.

Thanks folks!!!

I haven't owned a 835 in several years. Mine loved a kicks choke. It also shot good with the jelly head

I saw my local Wal Mart had several models of the Primos Jellyhead, including the one for an 835 on sale for $9.
Come to think of it, I may need to go back...
