Title: choke tube for 835?
Post by: IDLEWILDMAN on February 17, 2011, 11:33:19 PM
Trying to decide between a Jellyhead or SSX for my 835. I plan to shoot lead 3", # 5's or 6's. What do ya'll think?

I have shot the Jelly Head, but I haven't shot the SSX yet.  I have a new SSX choke, but I haven't tested it yet.

I have a good friend that shoots a mossy 835 with the JH .690 in combo with the older pre flite control #5 federals, and is very pleased with that combo. I don't know what his numbers are, but 3 shots and 3 dead birds all from ranges of 5-45 yards.
He likes his.

Just in case it matters in your decision making process. 

The SSX flies the Chinese Flag

Thanks for all of the suggestions, seems that they way to go might be the Hevi-shot. Thanks again!

I get great patterns with the factory Ulti-Full (.690) turkey choke that came with my 835 turkey gun. Federal Mag-Shok FC 3", 2 oz., #6s produced 160 pellets on a 12"X12" target. Good luck this spring!

All lead loads seem to do just fine with the factory chokes that came with mine, have you tried them yet, they are lead and steel rated per Mossberg.

Jellyhead with Hevi13 6 or 7's is poison in 835 and 935.

My barrel is ported and the gun came with four factory chokes? Is yours the UTLI mag series? If so there are a ton of chokes that will work well for you. I use Carlson's extended tube, the factory flush chokes and one Cabala's extended tube choke for everything I hunt and shoot. Search this site there are a lot of patterns being re posted from the 835 shotgun.
