Hello butterbean

My 835 realy likes Winchester loads, regardless of chokes. But You never know try as many diferent brands as your shoulder can take.

Our 835, with the same choke, prefers Federal Premium 3" 2 ounce #5 over all others we have tried. The same load in #6 was second, Winchester 3" 1 3/4 ounce #5 third.

I shoot Winchester HV 3.5" #4' s---but I have a Hastings choke. My Mossberg patterned well with a variety of loads and chokes.

using your exact set up, mine like winchester 3" #5 shot over anything else.. i used to use 3.5' s, but no need in going through that when the 3" patterns better!

Mine with the factory x-full shoots a great pattern with Federal 3 1/2 # 5' s. The pattern is so nice that I didn' t bother to see what shoots best. This pattern is more than good enough to get the job done, and it has!
