Both shots at 40 yards measured. Both 3" shells. 70 degrees and sunny. My jellyhead .660 definitely throws better patterns with the Hevis than the IC but not quite the numbers I got with the IC and longbeards. Longbeard #5's put 188 in the 10 and 38 in the 3. Mag Blends only put up 136.

That LB looks great! In my limited experience with a Nova the MB likes a tighter choke.
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.

Yes....choke em' down to .655...I got my best #s from 3.5" blends with a Final Strut .655

My experience with the M2 has been that the Hevis shoot better choked down and the Longbeards shoot better with a little more open choke. I'm going to try a Final Strut .655 this weekend.
