Hevi 13 #7 results @ 40 yds...

[Turkeykiller12]

Benelli Nova 24" barrel
IC .665 choke tube
Hevi 13 3.5" 2 1/4 oz #7 shot
40 yds

10" circle= 223 hits.

Is this 223 hits what I should expect with this choke and H13 load or should it have been better?

[Gobble!]

I would expect better but thats more then good enough 

[Turkeykiller12]

Going from around 100 to 115 at 40 yds this change to IC chokes and h13 #7 shot has increased my shot count a ton. Im sure I could spend another xxx amount of dollars and get 300 hits at 40 yds, but Dead is Dead right?

Based on Drum's results Yes... I played with a buddies nova last year with a SSX last year and put up 297

You should have plenty of margin for error however

I would say you are in fine shape.... 223 in the 10" is nothing to joke about....That will hunt ALL DAY

Absolutely. Gotta have something left of the bird to make a picture.

[knightrider]

plenty good to kill an old goobler

[SKFOOTER]

I'd suggest a .655 choke for that load.

[RustySap]

more than enough to kill a gobbler.

[BigHooks]

That's more than enough to kill birds but like Spuriousity said they will work with ya, seance you have a 665 I would try a 660 an see what that does for ya, or maybe somebody allready has an will let you know...
