I recently purchased a used mosserg 500 bantam youth 20 ga. It came with a full & mod. choke can you guys help with what size shot to use for turkeys as well as general small game. Also can you suggest if available a better turkey choke.

Check the pattern section. Posted lots of pics of patterns of various chokes and loads shot out of the Mossy Super Bantam.

I would try the factory extra full choke and federal heavy weight #7 in 3" for adults and 2 3/4" for kids.  My son has this set up and works awesome out to 35 or 40 yds.

If it's allowed in your area, I'd recommend the 3" Hevi-13 shells with 1.25 oz. of #7 shot.

The new 20 Gauge SSX Turkey Choke for those guns is also now available and that's the one that I'd recommend.

Thanks,
