I have a mossberg 835 ulti-mag with a briley .675 choke need some help on shell size,powder grams,shot size and brand name to get the best pattern.{ 10" circle at 40yds}.Right now am using Federal preimum 3 1/2" 2.0 gram #5's. Patterning around 20 to 22 pellets in the kill zone,about 110 to 115 pellets in a 10" circle.
 
I don't know if anyone can predict that ,there are too many variables That's why I will always say that every shotgun load MUST be patterned.For a tighter pattern the use of hardened and/or plated shot is used . Also buffered shot .The nicest ,most uniform patterns I've gotten from buffered shot.Turkey in NY requires 4,5,or 6 shot.
