What choke constriction for a Mossberg 930 shooting federal heavyweight #7
Nobody's tried this load
Out of every single moss berg or winchester gun I own that I shoot the 3", 1 5/8 ounce hw 7s, my absolute best performing choke has been the carlson''s longbeard xr.

They still make them? I have that setup i should try them.
660 to 665 Winchester Long Beards.
665 to 670 Tss few loads to pick from.
The Federal in the 12ga I dont care for much. If a 20ga it is good.

What choke constriction for a Mossberg 930 shooting federal heavyweight #7
I really love my 930s. They are great guns. My first one has had hundred and hundreds of rounds through it, mostly 3" turkey loads. My second one, "Casper", a snow goose gun, has had just a few hundred through it.
I've shot a variety of chokes, different manufacturers and different exit diameters. I like the .650s better than others for the #7 Heavyweight shot. That will also work with the TSS but it's not really necessary. I'm having fun with the "Head Banger" and it's .665 with some very interesting internal geometry.
I hope that helps some.
Thanks,
Clark
I'm planning on picking up a 930 this winter. This should give me a place to start.
I shoot the Hevi 7's and Long Beard XR 6's in my 930 Turkey and I use the Indian Creek BDS which is a .660. Both loads shoot very nice patterns. 264 hits in a 9 3/4" circle @ 40yds for the Hevi's and 228 hits in a 9 3/4" circle @ 40yds for the XR's. At 20 yards the patterns are very tight though, especially with the XR's.

Don't want to be shooting the original federal heavyweights through a black diamond strike choke...

And the OP's question was regarding the federal loads, not hevi shot...
