Hey guys, I have a Mossberg 935 with a 24" barrel. I am currently shooting Federal Premium Pre-FCW 3.5" 2.25 ounce 6's out of the Ulti-Full choke.

I would like to try the Federal HWT 7's in it. I am going to buy a Sumtoy to shoot lead anyway so I will try the HWT in it, but what are you guys using in the 835/935 with the HWT's?

What are your patterns like?

Thanks!

I have tried them thru the unported Pure Gold Tempest and the patterns were terrible, shot all over the place.  Going to work with them some more after the season.

I had a 935 with a 28"brl.  I had great luck with the HW 3.5" #7.  With an extended .675 non ported carlson choke it was putting up right at 200 in the 10" circle at 40.  Myself and few of my hunting buddies have pretty extensive experience hunting with that HW load.  I have shot same #7 load since it came out in a browning citori INV+ OLD walmart un ported choke .665 at 200-210 in 10". Buddies shoot that load in INV+ chokes in .665 unported chokes and get 190-210 in 10".  This year I am shooting a SBE2 with a .650 truechoke at 150ish in 10" (but gonna try .665 also). These #7 pellets of HW will penatrate unlike ANYTHING your have ever seen!!!!  We are getting total penatration  of a turkey of almost ALL stray pellet hits anywhere on the body!!!  I would suggest a tight unported choke without any watcatchers. 

thanks
