Can anyone recommend a good turkey choke for the 26" SBE? What load would you use?

I use a Kicks Gobblin' Thunder .655 in my 26" SBE with either Remington 3 1/2" #5, Winchester 3" #5, or Federal 3" #5. I can put 10 pellets in the spine and skull at 60 yards consecutively. I've found the 3" to pattern slightly tighter than the 3 1/2".

Some negative experiences I've had with my SBE in the turkey arena: #4 seem to spray really bad. Not more than 3 pellets in the vitals at 25 yards. I also had a H.S. Strut turkey choke seize in my barrel. It really seemed to patter my 3 1/2" mags well, but when I went to change it out...that was a different story. No permanent damage (besides psychological).
