After searching forever, I've finally acquired an original, 21" barreled, greenleaf 11-87. Now to figure out what to run for a choke and load. For chokes I've got a Carlsons non ported .640, a Trulock heavyweight TSS .650, an original Jellyhead .660, an Indian creek .665, a Remington factory extended ported turkey super full, a Remington factory straight rifled turkey super full, a Remington factory turkey extra full non ported, and a Remington factory super full turkey non ported. For ammo I was kind of thinking I'd like to keep it old school. I don't have any old lead loads(yet), but I do have a bunch of the "old white" hevi-13 in 3" #6, the old federal heavyweight 3" 1 5/8oz #7s, and I also have some Winchester longbeard 3" 1 3/4oz #5s and #6s(not really old school, but they're lead). Then I thought, why not maximize its potential. For that I have some factory Federal 3" 1 3/4oz TSS #9s, and I also have components to load my own 3" 2oz TSS #9 handloads. All that being said, which choke and load are you starting with?
I bought mine new and use the factory super full and federal #6. Works great for me.

Indian creek .665 and Hevi 13 #6, would be my choice.
