Try the Fed Heviweight #7's. I think you will like what you see.

My son uses the Mossberg Super Bantam with a .572 undertaker and Federal Heavyweight #7. This combo will go 40 yards easily.

The Undertaker is the only choke I have tried in this gun and it worked so I am sticking with it. I got 163 in the 10 last year at 40 yrds. I have heard the SSX choke that you have does really well with the Heavyweight #7. You will also find that Sumtoy chokes get rave reviews on this site. If you have not already, I would suggest deep cleaning your barrel.

It's the shell that makes the most difference. The H-13 3" #7s are second as far as off the shelf brands.
The best shell for lead will come from Federal or Winchester in #6s.

I set up a 500 bantam for myself last year. Polished the bore, added truglo sights, mossy oak graphic kit. Shooting fed hw 7. I only could afford to try 2 chokes so tried Primo tightwad that put out 100 at 40yd and the undertaker choke gave me 130's at 40. Took my first bird with it at 45yd last year
