Any suggestions on the brand of choke tube and brand of shells to get a great pattern?

I would go with a sumtoy choke and some of the new winchester longbeards

I set mine up with a JellyHead .690, I also shoot the Winchester HV #6 in 3 1/2"
I feel pretty good about my set-up with the 835

I have tried

Kicks .670 .680 .690
Pure Gold .670
Truglo SSX .670
Jelly Head .690
Mossberg Xfactor .695
Indian Creek .675

In my 835 and 935 shooting HTL #6 and lead #6 the Indian Creek beat the others by a good margin.  Three shot avg 20 pellets higher than the next closest which was the Pure Gold.  Havent had a chance to try a Sumtoy yet, too close to the season.  But I plan to order one over the summer.

I use a Mossberg Ultifull extended choke I bought years ago.  After polishing, I consistently put upper 150s in the 10 inch at 40 with Win XX Supreme 3.5 2 ounce number 6's (red shell).   I think the constriction is .765.  I may try some long beards, but I really like the XXs

Truglo SSX .670, and Hevi-13 3-2-7's.

I shoot a Mossberg 835 and have for 20 years.  I shoot a factory Mossberg extra full choke.  I shoot the Winchester Supreme 3.5 2 ounce number 4's(black shell).  I honestly don't know what the pellet count is at 40 yards.  I really don't care.  It will kill the piss out of a turkey.  I have never polished the barrel and rarely clean the gun.  It performs flawlessly.

From what I've heard this is one that'll be tough to beat.  I used to shoot 3.5" 2.25 oz. Hevi-13 #6 through a Primos Jellyhead which gave good patterns.  I now shoot TSS through an Indian Creek and am getting 320's in a 10" @ 40 yds.

WildSpur

I have one with a 20" pipe.

Choke:  Jellyhead,  pure gold, factory .695 in that order.

Lead shells:  anything winchester or federal turkey thugs.

Htl:  magblends.
