What loads/ choke work well in this gun?
Give it a little bit of time. There isn't a ton of Stoeger shooters here but I'm sure someone will help you out eventually.
my buddy used a .655 ( i think) jellyhead and 3" 2oz #6 hevi13 and his pattern at 40 yards was just over 210 pellets in a 10" circle
I use my Stoeger 2000 mostly for waterfowl. I have killed one turkey with it using the factory turkey choke and Winchester Supreme HV 3" #5 shot. Patterned very well for me, just do not remember the numbers.
Great gun though, love mine. Has performed without a hitch for six years now...

IC and Hevi 6' or 7's in mine
Killed two last year with mine. Its got a 24in barrel and the steady grip stock. It likes a kicks .655 with winchester ammo 5 and 6 in 3."

I forgot also had to have it drilled and tapped. Its poi is off "shoots left" just like my stoeger p-350.
I have two, one is dead on. The other low and left, I use it for duck hunting. Im running an indian creek 665 and winchester extended range 6s.That IC is TIGHT. I use a red dot on mine after missing the first 3 gobblers I shot at. No misses since the scope was added.
It patterned good with a Kicks 660 and a Rhino 673 as well in that order of best pattern.
The included turkey choke is a killer out to forty with winchester XX 3" lead 4s
I use my M2000 for lead only... I like my 870 for hevi... I shoot a trulock .660 extended precision hunter choke in my m2000 with win xx 3' 2oz 5's and 6's. Patterns really well, but i had install a set of magnum gobble dot sights on my gun because it shoots low with factory sites. My m2000 has a 26" bbl. Hope this helps.
Mine has a Steady Grip on it as well, and it shoots dead on.
I'll let you know after the weekend...
I got one last year and love it...i got the one that came with 2 barrels and 2 stocks so i shoot the 24" barrel for turkey with the pistol grip and the field stock and 28" barrel for ducks.
Mine shoots GREAT with JH choke and winchester xtended range #6. I may try the Hevi 13 mag blend but not sure why as mine is pumping approx 220 beads at 40yds.
shoot straight as well.
I have tried several different chokes /loads through mine and I got my best results with a truglo SSX (.643) and 3" hevi #6. I got 196 in 10 at 40 with this combe. I have not shot a #7 through it but have no doubt it will be impressive as well.

I also shot the truglo SSX, but did shoot the a 3" HEVI-13 #7. I got 248 in a 9.5" circle at 40 yds. I also, shot the factory turkey choke and got 208 in a 9.5" circle at 40 yds.
here is a link to what mine is doing.
