I have an 870 that I have had the barrel cut down to 22". The gunsmith threaded the barrel to accept the Tru-choke system of chokes. I have only been able to find a hastings .655 and I know kicks makes one that fits. Does anyone have any choke and shell recommendations for my gun?

I bought the Hastings .655 choke. I shot a bunch of different loads and the best I could get was 163 pellets in a 10" circle at 40 yards. That was with a 3" nitro with 4-5-7. I wonder if I could do any better if I orders the pure gold .670
