My dad has a Undertaker Hevi-shot tube in his, I was so impressed that I tried one in my Super Black Eagle and am still using it. We are using the old Remington Hevi-shot 3 1/2 in. 12 gauge, #5 shot. I have about 2 boxes of this left, will have to try something else when I run out.

Man, I don't know if I can get to it...
I did sight my scope in the other day using dove loads. Then I put one shell of that cheap Remington Nitro 2oz 3.5" #5. It destroyed a water bottle at 30 yards. I didn't have time to put any paper up. I will try, but it may be another couple of weeks. I will try some different loads then, too...it's just time right now. Sorry.

You should do less waiting and go pattern your gun! There is no way to know what will work best in your particular gun than putting it to the board yourself. What works in one gun may not work in another. You can collect opinions all day long... but opinions don't kill turkeys. Good patterns do.. gotta go shoot her! Good luck!

Sorry guys I have been slacking that was me that wrote that I would do a writeup. I will give you a brief intro to what we determined last weekend though. $300 spent in different ammunition, 4 different choke tubes. Two great results. I will post pics of my patterns and distances and information on how they were tested in the next few days.

---45 yards out of a lead slead vice, 5mph winds, mueller Quick shot red dot (AWESOME!)
Combinations tried with the Benelli Super nova steady grip gun 24" barrel Primos Jelly choke (.655), Carlson Non ported (.665), Undertaker, and Patternmaster.

---Shells used:
-Lead
Winchester XX 3" 5 shot
Winchester XX 3"6 shot
Winchester XX 3.5" 5 shot
WinchesterHighvelocity 3.5" 5 shot
Federal F/C 3" 5 shot

-Hevi
Winchester Xtended range Supreme elite 3" 6 shot
Winchester Xtended range Supreme elite 3.5" 6 shot
Rem Hev 13 3" 6 shot
Rem Hev 13 3.5"6 shot
Rem (old school Hevi shot) Premier magnum 3" 6 shot
Rem (old school Hevi shot) Premier magnum 3.5" 6 shot


Results..
...

...

Two best combos for Benelli Super nova Steady grip 24" barrel at 45 yards

Winchester Xtended range 3.5" 6 shot with Primos choke great patterns very happy

Hands down awesome performance though....

Remington (old school Hevi) 3.5" 6 shot with Carlson Non ported choke tube. This combo kicked the crap out of everything else. For some reason though I didnt get as good of patterns with it with the Primos choke tube though. Also My partners Moss 835 shot this incredibly well too. We went and bought 5 boxs of it once we were done shooting.


I will do a full write up soon....very busy with work right now though. Stay tuned.
