What I have to offer is non biased in any way. When I was planning on patterning my Supernova I couldnt find any information on good chokes and shells to use. So me and my Partner decided to go all out and by most of the Turkey loads available, and a few affordable choke tubes. The only patterns I have are from my Benelli super nova 24" steady grip gun. I also have a Benelli Super nova 26" barrel with the comfortech stock that we shot with too. My 26" gun likes the Jelly head combo with the win. xtended range 3.5 6 shot. The other gun used was a Mossberg 835 22" barrel. Both guns were shot from a lead sled and had a centered pattern before we started shooting. Not shown in the pics...I had a 3x3 foot paper taped behind each target to ensure the pattern was centered. This is nice at 40+ yards
