Anyone have a supernova and can recommend a choke and ammo to get started on to get this gun shooting the best possible to put the turkey in the dirt .

Thanks

Buddy uses a Jellyhead and 3.5" mag blends. Think his pattern is a bit blown but it puts birds on the ground.  I would suggest taking to William at SumToy.  He is on here as SumToy.

I have a .660 trulock in mine. Shoots great patterns with  3" - 3 1/2" Hevi MB, 3 1/2", Win HV #5. Carlson ported .665 3" Win HV or LB #4.
The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.

Indian creek .665 and Longbeard 3" #6 work great in my supernova.

If you haven't found what you want yet, try the Hevi Shot choke and 3.5" Mag Blends. 

Guy I know bought a nova, I cleaned his barrel very well and 1st shot got 242 (it was about 50 degrees with a slight cross breeze).  Not the highest number I have ever seen out of a 3.5" shell, but it was a great pattern.

Ive hunted with a benelli nova since the 2000 I use a undertaker choke and federal flight control 3 inch number 5s .  :OGturkeyhead:
