      Hello guys I got a bunch of the old Winchester 3.5 inch #5 high velocity shells. I was wondering what choke has worked well in the Remington 870 Super Mag. THANKS!

My buddy has an 870 Super Mag with a 23" barrel.  I gave him a Comp-N-Choke .655 I believe it was & it threw some really wicked patterns with that shell. I'm sure there are others that will work well also.

I really like the patterns my 870 with a 26 inch barrel gives with a Ventilator and the HV 3.5 2 oz loads.  Good hunting pattern at 20 yards and about 120 at 40.  That was on a cold day this winter, about 5 degrees.

For what it's worth I tried the longbeards today, and the 20 yard pattern was similar but put up 150 at 40 yards. 
Whoever said you can't kill em from the couch never was good enough to call a gobbler into the living room

Never shot these shells out of my 870 Super mag but I would be willing to bet that the Ventilator choke might work well. Its not very expensive either and would be great to start with IMO....

I shot #6 in the same gun/shell combo for years and the Ballistic Specialties .655 was my pick.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

*had to have the barrel professionally polished to get it to turn good patterns.

 :TrainWreck1:  I run a kicks 655 in my 24 in barrel super mag and brother .. Double x number 5 or 6 in 3 or 3 1/2 will rip roar one down at 50 yds no problem .. I quit buying other shells when I got that choke.  Good luck to you
