I've been reading all of yalls post for the past month or so and this seems like a forum with a bunch of incredibly nice and knowledgable guys. I haven't seen what I wanted to know about my supernova and pattern numbers. I want to know if there is an average pellet count in a ten inch circle for hevi 13's #5 6 or 7 or mag blends in a 3 1/2 shell that I should kinda look for out of my gun. All data, comments, and two cents are welcome. Thank you
You will get lots of answers from great folks. If you use the Search at the top and search by your gun and load it will be quicker.
Ok thank you I just searched nova and I've got a lot to read lol. I've done a little patterning with it and the hevi shot choke in.656 and so far my best with the 3 1/2 # 5 is 201 in a 10 inch circle and 174 with the mag blends. The mag blends cover the outside of the ten a lot better than the fives do and create a little more room for error in a hunting situation. Just curious if I needed to test like the number sixes or sevens.
I shoot 3.5 hevi 13 #6 and get 230 in the 10 at 40 so I would say its worth a shot,but 201 with a #5 thats awesome
I f your getting 201 with 5's I'd be done patterning.

This is my supernova with the Mag Blends and a 670 Pure Gold Choke.

I agree!! That is a great pattern. I'd shoot to make sure it is consistent at that type of pattern. If you want to see what change is, the Hevi #6 would likely ive you better numbers.
