Stacey, extra full chokes tend to do better with higher density shot sizes. I would try patterning a number or two larger shot size in the same brand loading to find what patterns best in your configuration. Also try different brands of ammunition as patterning can be vastly different even with the same shot size among different brands as well.

Stacey, Obviously patterning your shotgun with different loads is best. Have heard the Hevi-Shot may cause barrel bulging with extra-full chokes. As far as Buds stock try these items. The hex shot is stacked tight in the shell and patterns well.-------- https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/90904/win+ammo+sbs203hv3+blindside+high+velocity+20ga+3%22+1-1%2f8+oz+----------https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/75828/hevishot+00567+hevi-shot+magnum+blend+20+ga+3%22+2+oz+5%2c6%2c7+sh
