smooth2659 Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 I just bought a Benelli Nova 3.5" pump for hunting ducks and geese. The biggest reason I bought this gun is to be able to shoot geese with 31/2" steel shot. The choke I am most likely to use for this is the full choke, which indicates it is not to be used for steel shot! Can I shoot steel shot thru this full choke tube? Does Benelli make a full choke tube compatible with this model that shoots steel shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rideau_lake_runner Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 I have hunted ducks and geese for several years with a variety of guns and have never used a full choke with steel. I've found you never need to go more than modified to get a really tight pattern. Most of my hunting is done with Improved cylinder and I don't go to modified till late in the season and sometimes I just staywith I.C. especially with high velocity steel (2,bb,bbb) I would think that if you did find a full choke for steel (most chokes list modified (lead)=full (steel)) it would just blow your pattern.

jchapman Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 An IC will esentially give you an improved modified with steel or Heavi shot. You'll get no pattern with a full using steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
