Just getting into turkey hunting. Went out once last year with my son on youth opening day and poured all morning. Trying again this year if we can find a place.
In patterning my new 535, does anyone have a recommendation on load and choke, or perhaps someone has this gun and knows for the most part what gives best pattern. (Yes I realize that all guns will shoot differently...just trying to eliminate buying a bunch of different shells to test/pattern.)
Oddly enough it seems that many people recommend 3 inch instead of 3.5 too not only for kick's sake, but for patterning.
It comes with a xx full turkey choke but I've read that some people say it patterns better with a regular FULL than a XX full.
Also open to after-market tubes although I'd like to make the FULL or XX FULL work if possible.
Also need to pattern my sons Mossberg 500 20 gage if anyone has a recommendation for that.
Any input for the above is appreciated!
