Title: So, I bought a Steady Grip SuperNova...

with 24 inch barrel. What choke and shell combo should I use? Right now I plan on getting a .655 Jellyhead with HEVI-13  No 6.

I would look at 3in Hevi-Shot Magnum Blends and the Hevi-13 choke tube. My gun of the same specs loves them. I would also suggest replacing the hard factory pad with a Limbsaver pad.

Thanks guys!


Is that butt pad a grind to fit type?  That looks good!

Nice setup. I just bought the same gun & picked up a JH 655 choke. I think I'll also try the HEVI choke. I'm just waiting for my camo Burris Speeddot 135 to get here.
Did you experiment with any other tubes?

What kind of patterns you all getting? I heard that Carlson .650 imported actually outshoots the JH. Just heard it though.

The JH .655 worked well in my Super Nova but I haven't tryed any other choke in it.

I sold the gun and still have the choke if you would be interested.

Looks like I found me a choke tube. Thanks a lot Yelpy.
