I use Nitro Rays 3.5" 4 X 5 X 7 Tri Plex in my 835 with the Original Solid Ulti-Full Choke Tube. I tried a Rhino Choke and a Jelly Head and did not see any difference. I am getting over 300 (I stopped counting at 300) Pellets in a 10 Inch Circle at 40 yards. I have have shot this gun at 50+ Yards and the Pellet count is still very high. I have also killed one Nice Gobbler at 55 Yards. I hit the trigger and he hit the ground. Not one flop! These shells in any gun will put the smack down on a Gobbler!

Any of the heavier than lead options....
Winchester Supreme Elites shoot the best for me.

Winchester Extended Range Elite for me as well. Patterns with #5 or #6 are spectacular in my Winchester SuperX2 and a .660 Gobbler Guns Final Strut tube.
