Have you tried shootin at a larger piece of paper to check your poa/poi ?? You may not be seeing the real pattern..

yes, I was shooting it on a and 18 x 18 back stop. The pattern is alright on that stop, I put up a fresh one every shot just to see it.
Primos tells you on the Package they guarantee a 30" pattern @ 40yds. But I think I need a different choke

The jellyhead is a great choke for the $...

I had a Nova 3 yrs ago that gave me a fit trying to get it to pattern good, I eventually traded it in on the 870 in my avatar.
I also have had one since that shot real good.
Have you cleaned your bbl real good?? It can make a big difference when patterning turkey loads.

I kinda liked the patterns from the 3-1/2,s that you posted before. but it never hurts to try a different choke if you have the money to spend.

I just did the very same thing today
The 870 Super Mag feels like it has a lot of kill in it.... Much more than that cowardly super Nova.
My Nova would pattern high and to the right....it was not impressive

I shoot a primos jellyhead out of my benelli m2. In my opinion, it is the best choke for the money. You could also try Pure Gold or another choke company. But I would recommend trying a different shell, such as federal heavyweights, to see if they patterned any better. You should be able to get MUCH better patterns than you are getting now.

Umm I would do something... If you want to stay with lead I have had great luck with the Tru Glo Strut Stopper Xtreme and the Win Sup HV 1 3/4 6s in a couple guns.. In a short barreled 500 it will do 150 in a 10 inch circle at 40.. Its a great bargain choke at 35 bucks.
Those shells like a tight choke and I believe your choke may be much too open.

Another alternative, Cheaper than changing the choke:
Get yourself some hevi13 3" 2 .oz #6's.
There some of the best over the counter turkey loads you can get,
They will have a lil more energy than the lead #5s with alot more pellets in the kill zone..
The jellyhead would be about $40.
The Hevi13 box of 5 will be around 19.00..
If ya dont have twice the pellets that you have know I would almost be willing to bet that I would eat the target...

Heres a pattern I shot from a supernova with a 24" bbl. and an Indian Creek with Hevi13 3.5" 2.25 .oz #6s.
Pattern wasnt at 40, I belive it was 35yds (didnt have room for 40)
220 hits in a 10" circle.
I assumed that you were trying to get the best pattern for the $$ with the choke and shells you started with.
If you want to search for other combos this will be your best bet:

I would say it has more to do with the shot selection. Hevi-shot is going to pattern a lot better than any lead load.

I'm not very fond of the tightwad choke. Others may have had good results with it but the one I shot was terrible, even with hevi-13's. Jellyhead and hevi 13's are an excellent "mid-budget" combo.
