hognutz Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 Congrats. on the Federal Permit and the Nova!! We don't really know what you are going to hunt, so recommending ammo will be a little tough. I do know that it will shoot anything you run through it. Good luck with the shotgun, and welcome to the world of Benelli.. Mike Quote

Get yourself some Remington Nitro Mag #4 and you should be good to go. You can always go with game loads for rabbits and other small game, I personally like the Nitro Mags in all the sizes. I would run some 3.5" through your gun, don't be worried, you will get some more pellets out of the deal, but you can kill with 2-3/4" as well without breaking a sweat. Happy Hunting! Quote
Novaking Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 For rabbits and pheasants I use Federal Max dram,1 1/4, 5 shot 2 3/4 inch shells. For dove size game I shoot 1 1/8 6 shot. For turkeys I shoot Hevi-shot 3 1/2 #5's For Coyotes I use 3 or 3 1/2 T-shot For Skeet or clay bird shooting I use 1oz 7 1/2, 8's, or 9's Congrats on your new gun. Quote
