RE: ??What' s your favorite turkey choke tube??
I use a Ventilator choke tube with 3" Remington # 5' s (2 ounce) in my 870.
I gave Hevi-Shot (Remington not Nitro) a try in my gun with the Ventilator tube. I tried the 3" #5 1 5/8 ounce load just to see what would happen, as I am not ready to commit to the recomended Rhino choke and Nitro ammo yet. I was getting around 6 pellets in the brain and vertebrae at 40 yards, but my lead loads are perfoming a little better than that, so I am sticking with lead for now.

Up until today my choke of choice was a Rhino .660 shooting 2&1/4oz. of Winchester Supreme #6. That was until a friend of mine let me try out his Ventilator. Now this is the new kid on the block for me. Also learned something else today much to my surprise and delight, my gun shoots to dead nutz point of aim using the bead. Atleast with this combo it does. Now i don' t have any need for this B-Square mount i just bought. Oh well, anybody interested in a B-Square mount? LOL

I just bought a Ventilator choke yesterday for my 870 SPS-T Super Mag with a 23" barrel. I have not patterned it yet, but I can' t wait. I am going to try Federal 4' s & 5' s, 2 oz. in 3" and Win HV 5' s & 6' s, 1 3/4 oz. in 3" also.
I will then try Remington shells if needed.
