Any suggestions on what choke to use for a stoeger m3500 24" shooting 3.5" TSS 7.5x9 blends?

Go with straight 9's in TSS, you won't be sorry.  I shoot the straight 7's in Hevi-13's with a .670 PG out of a 835 and they destroy turkeys.  You'll probably need to open up with TSS to .690 to .710 but others can give you better info then I can.  Good Luck with TSS.

I'd be North of .700 for sure

SumToy

what pattern you want.  670 give the hot core.   690 range give the even hunting pattern
Tell us just how dead do you want them to be and we will see if we can get that for you.

Nitro recommended a .660 or .670 for my gun. Not sure what kind of pattern you like, whether that be high numbers in a 10, or a super even 10 and 20" ring at 40yrds. What you like would depend on what choke you choose.
.660-.675 will give you the higher numbers tighter core where as the .690-.700+ will give you more open even patterns

It'll be a turkey choke, not a paper choke. I don't want it so tight where it'll be easy to miss up close shots. That being said, I want to be able to reach out and touch one if needed.

I would say in the high .660's to .680. It will really depend on what ounce load too. 2oz of 8's shot good for me in a benelli and mossburg 535 right between a .665 and .670 constriction and a 2oz load of 7's worked well right around a .675 constriction. It also depends on how the choke is designed. I do think I would start around .675.

Not to hijack but I had same question as OP.  So based on the recommendations, what are some brands of chokes out there in the .670 - .690 range?  Most I'm seeing seem to be in the .660-.665 range.

I'm using a 870 with 2.5oz of #9s and a .675 Indian Creek. I tired a .665 my pattern was 549 in the 10" circle and another 262 in the 20". Pattern had some holes in it so I wanted to open it up a bit. Called Indian Creek they had a .675 so I decided to try it. Got a 500/300 pattern that was very even.

Call Indian Creek. They can custom make chokes for you. I consider them to be the best from a customer service and performance stand point.

Thanks Gobble.  I was looking at Indian Creek but only saw .665 on their website.  Didn't know they'd do custom, and wasn't seeing other brands out there with in that range.

I will be reloading some TSS for myself this coming week. Hearing these numbers is crazy to me and makes me excited. I was excited when my shotgun was putting just over 140 pellets at 45 yards with lead. To hear you saying numbers in the 300-500 range is crazy. ill be loading #8s as that is what is legal here in NY.
