Your Turkey choke is squishing the shot to much making a donut hole.

I'd try some different loads with the tubes that you have, before you bought anymore.

i'm trying to find out what choke i should use Steel shot= get a choke that is .700 hevi-shot= needs one .675 and lead should be around .660 with Large lead pellets "F" or bigger try one .690 Just my observations. A flight control wad will make a big difference too. With that said every gun is different try a bunch of different shells and a person can't have enough choke tubes... ;D |

Its marked Full - 2&BB Steel & All Lead. Flite-Control wads are made to exit the barrel with the shot and brake off in flite. This is the recommended choke size for that ammo and will give you the best pattern. The .670 choke works great with Winchester HV 3 1/2" #5 or #6 or the Winchester Extended range 3" #5. I own and hunt turkey with a Mossberg 835 Grand Slam and have many different chokes and shells so Im talking from experience. My .670 choke is a Hastings. Mike |
