**UPDATED** 24" SuperNova / JellyHead 655 / Hevi 13 #6 3.5"

[rebelman]

Shot today even though it was not ideal conditions. This was the first time with my new scope. I had to shoot it 15 times to get it sighted in. That was with 2.75" dove loads at 20 yards. I did not have anything to clean the barrel with but I shot a Hevi # 6 anyway.

Here is what I got. 162 in 10" circle. It appears that the the difference in shells made a difference in elevation. I'm not sure why it is left. Could have been me. I'll shoot again after cleaning and with better temps.

I accidentally wrote Mag Blend on the paper. It was a #6.

I'm now satisfied.

I spent 20 minutes cleaning my barrel. Not a deep clean and did not use a drill motor. Only traditional cleaning method.

Other than that everything was similar to before.

Here is what we are testing.
24" Benelli SuperNova CLEAN BARREL
JellyHead .655 choke
40 yards/10" circle
61 degrees light head wind.

220 pellets. POA and POI is close enough for me. I dare a turkey to walk within 40 yards.

I have a Remington 11-87 with a 28" barrel and when I sighted in my crappy/retired red dot I started with the low power target loads and then finished with the Hevi-13. I got the exact same thing where the Hevi-13 shot higher than the sighted in target loads. I can only assume that the Hevi-13 retains more velocity and therefore does not have the same amount of drop as the target loads at the same given distance.

Even funnier I was getting about the same pellet count in the circle as you were. I lost it went I got greedy and tried to  move my pattern up two inchs to get better density in the circle and my red dot went south and totally lost the zero.

I had my scope zeroed before trying hevis and it shot high and right.

Not bad!

Shot again today, this time with #5 Trip 13's. I had 145 in a 10 " circle. POA is still off. I'll shoot again tomorrow.

Nitro ammo says on their website that with the supernova and the .655 jellyhead with their ammo their getting 230-270 bb's in a 10" circle at 40 yds.

Updated today. Read first post.

Personally I think your too tight on your choke. I really think you need to back it off to .665 or .670

Nice numbers! I have the exact same gun but not getting those numbers yet. Your scope looks great on there!
