You ought to be covered with those 3. Pick the one that does the best and get rid of the others.
I don't have a Nova, but I do use a .660 Jellyhead with my SBE II and number 5's pattern really well with that gun/choke combo. Good luck!
The Jellyhead will work great. So will the Indian Creek. Just gotta find your load.
My supernova likes the jellyhead with H13 #7's lethal!
My nova has the .655 jellyhead (I just bought the one for my gun), and I have yet to find a GREAT load, but the 3" remington nitro #6s and the 3.5" Hevi-13 Mag blends are my best so far.
I run a .655 Jellyhead in my Nova and it throws an absolutely wicked pattern with Hevi 3.5-2.25-7s. With the Hevi it averages about 280 hits and with Win XX Mag 3-2-6 lead shells it will go 125-130 hits consistently.
I have a Rob Roberts in .655 that shoots great with Hevi Shot Magnum Blend. He will exchange his chokes for a different constriction if they do not pattern right.
Thanks all for your input, ive order them and now just wait till they get here, ill show patteren's in another post with best results hopefully wont take to long as hevi shot not cheap but oh well gotta pay alittle to make sure its done right.... thanks again guys happy hunting
Sounds like ya got it covered..ive shot a kicks .660 in my nova for ten years..i don't shoot hevi loads through it though..its my lead gun..this setup shoots better than any other lead setup I've seen..i usually shoot 5's, or 6's but found a 4 shot load it just loves..ill be shooting them this year and giving the mag blends and extended range shells in my other setups a rest!!
