Mossberg 835 TSS choke Suggestion

[dswmsn]

Can anyone w/ a Mossberg Model 835 24" barrel suggest a name brand choke & constriction for me to start w/ to pattern Federal TSS 3" #9 shot & Federal TSS 3 1/2" #7 shot @ the pattern board? I currently use a .690 Primos Jelly Head, "LEAD & HEVI-SHOT", & a .676 Star Dot, "LEAD ONLY". I prefer not to use them w/ TSS. I also have two factory Mossberg chokes...one FULL & one MOD "2 & BB STEEL & ALL LEAD" chokes that I will try. How about the Primos TSS or any other suggestions? At the price of 12 ga. Federal TSS I am looking for all the short cuts possible.

As you probably know, our 835's love chokes in the .670 to .680 range.  Pure Gold, Indian Creek, SSX, Stardot and Sumtoy are a few.  If you received the 4 chokes with your gun, as I did, I would recommend trying the .690 X full Turkey choke with the TSS.  Also check out the Mossberg Patterning section threads here on OG.  Many of the guys with 835's have done the research with their guns and have posted their pattern PICS.  Good luck.

Try the factory ulti-full that came with the gun, mine likes the Fed. 3" 9's.  Nice, even pattern that's not to tight for a shot at 20 yards.

Are they tss rated?

As tungsten is softer than steel (what your chokes are made of) what does it matter if it is tungsten rated? Those old chokes were not taking tungsten into account because it wasn't popular then. Lead and hevi only just means no steel. I would urge you to reconsider on the jellyhead. Puts a hell of a pattern out of mine with fed TSS 7s.

Having recently asked the question about using LEAD ONLY chokes w/ TSS I agree w/ you. One being .676 & the other .690 I think they would be good starting points. Also I am real curious about the STEEL ONLY factory Full & Mod chokes' performance & the Mossberg factory Ulti-Full.

Guys I'm no expert on TSS but from my understanding the stuff is really hard. I don't have any way of knowing but I was told if you put tss on an anvil, hit it w a hammer, the anvil gets tss dimples in it.
If that's the case, lead it's not

[kyturkeyhunter4]

Primos makes a jellyhead tss choke it's made especially for the tss loads

The star dot should be an acceptable choke for TSS. The packaging states "Approved for Remington Heavy Shot"
I have shot Federal TSS thru mine in my 835 without issue.

I have it on good authority that there are no turkeys on the moon. Therefore you don't need more than a full choke with TSS out of that gun.
