DeerSlayerNova Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 i recently purchased a nova, and took it to the range a week ago, using the slug barrel i fired 15 rounds through it using brenneke rotweil blitz slugs which are 2 3/4". on the 11th or 12th shot the gun jammed to the point where i really had to rack the gun with basically all my strength to get the shell out and i am a pretty big guy. is there a certain type of shell that should be used in this gun, i have been told to use sabots but the gun shot rifled slugs just fine. also on the rotweil slugs i noticed the casing to the shell was very short unlike most of the other slugs i have seen. can some one please give me some info on this it would be very helpful thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallhanger54 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Are you using the Benelli rifiled slug barrel or the Ithaca made cantalever barrel? Also, if you use lead slugs in it you can screw it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using a cantilever fully rifled barrel that came as a combo with the gun, i am assuming it is a benelli barrel because it came as a set, yes i am shooting lead slugs.
