That is good to hunt with.  Definitely better can be had.  You should be able to get up into the 130 ' s with that load.  I would try to get my hands on some of the new winchester long beard loads too.

Have you deep cleaned the barrel? You may also want to find a Tru-Glo SSX. Those chokes have a pretty good reputation in the 835s.

You can improve that pattern by getting a TruGlo SSX .670 choke or a Star Dot .676 choke.  Both are gonna be hard to beat with most loads in the 835.
