You will need a plug- that's federal law.  Drobs - tube can only hold two.  Also, be careful that plug is sized for 2 3/4, and not just 3 or 3.5.

I do alot of goose hunting if deer is not in season I use a 12 ga. 28" barrel Benelli Nova. For shells I wont shoot anything but 3 1/2's I like BB for shot size  for an all around all season I am a big fan of the stopping power in Black cloud Federal.

Technically I believe a 3 in. shell will shoot a little further bc the 3 1/2 has the same amount of powder just less shot so it doesnt hafta use as much energy to push it but thats why I have a 28 in. barrel to get that little extra bc I like my extra shot in the pattern. I do the best in my gun with a mod. choke but the guns will vary. I will throw a full late season for the long shots but miss a lot  ::).
Not to call you out but the nova shoots up to 3s, the super nova shoots the 3 1/2s. I have both guns
If it flies it dies. Shoot now identify later.

Thanks for all your input everyone. Looks like I'll be using the Remington with 3 inch #2's.

You will need a plug- that's federal law.  Drobs - tube can only hold two.  Also, be careful that plug is sized for 2 3/4, and not just 3 or 3.5.

I dont think it is Federal Law down here. I would post the link if my computer was working. Last year down here was the first year you could pull your plug out down here. You can only do it during the early goose season though.

That's because the early season is for resident geese. Migratory (regular) season has to be federal regulations.

I was thinking that may be the reason but wasn't sure. This is all new to me. ;)

3" in #2 out of an 1100- 30" barrel. Full choke. There are about 40 out the back window teasing me right now. 3  weeks from now we'll see who's laughing. ::)

You are 100 percent mistaken my friend I have a Benelli Nova, not super nova and it shoots 3 1/2's. I got it in 2003. Maybe you are thinking of Vinci and Super Vinci? Tried to sharpen the image but you can still see it says 12 ga. 3 1/2 right at the beginning.


It's not being cocky if you can back it up!

Here is a pic of the gun I was talking about. Should I put some camo tape on it?
