Default Slugs for smoothbore Nova?

I' m hunting deer with my smoothbore nova for the first time this season, and I' m interested in hearing which brands of slugs have worked best for others.

I realize that I' ll have to see what MY gun shoots best, but are there any particular slugs that I should be sure to try?

With smoothbore I always had good shooting with winchesters 3 in mags. Ive used ferderal and remmingtons with decent results, but the wins were better.

I prefer the 2 3/4 inch Federals or Winchesters. The 3" don' t seem to group as well.

Can' t even hit the pumpkin with Remingtons.

Winchester 2 3/4" for me. Remington and Federals are good too, but I seem to get consistently good groups with Winchester. No need for 3" .

Try Brenneke slugs I' ve been shooting them for about 15 years. I use them in my Berretta, I' ll never shoot any other slug. 2 3/4 in magnums.
