I was just wondering if i have to have the "no-choke" choke to shoot buckshot. Or is it okay to use IC? How about slugs for that matter? Thanks, - MJ

Out dog-gone-Standing! The gun shoots and ejects just like I expected. Before going out, I tried ejecting live rounds on a friend's Nova. After a ejecting about 10 rounds, his gun did the same thing mine was doing. In the field, my supernova ejected everything i fed her. Thanks again, to everyone who responded. - MJ

Wow, this forum is amazing. Thank you everyone who has responded. Ok, so I went over to a buddies house, who has a regular Nova. And after feeding the same amount of new shells in and out... His shotgun did the same thing. This is good, for I am sure that the gun is correctly put to gether and operational. Gixerman1000, I think you are on target. It would make sense for Benelli to design a shotgun to eject spent casings and not live ones. Tucker301, Thank you for your opinion as well. I feel that this shotgun is safe for trial, and if the shotgun does not do its job AFTER firing... Well the people at customer service are going to hear from me. Thanks again, you all. I am going to shoot some bluerock and tell you the outcome. Check back after the weekend. - MJ

So, its a brand new, never been fired Supernova /w Steady grip/Field Barrel. And while testing the action by loading and ejecting a few shells, I am observing jamming every once in a while. It is not the shells, because i tried different loads and brands. From a profile view facing the action, it seems that the jam occurs when the action draws back the the shell is not positioned properly on the bolt/ejector. Since the shell(loaded) is lower or slipping downward, then the actions hits the ejection point, the shell drops down and the gun is jammed. I am pretty confused here as the ejector seems to be in purfect condition. Now I am modestly new to this, but is there some other component of the ejection process that I am missing? Like a guide rail or something> Any help would be appreciated. I would hate to have to send it in to the Mfgr. without firing a shot. - MJ
