I use gnus-summary-rescan-group (bound to "M-g" in the summary buffer)

M-g runs the command gnus-summary-rescan-group
  which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `gnus-sum.el'.
It is bound to M-g, Z G, <menu-bar> <Gnus> <Exit> <Rescan group>.
(gnus-summary-rescan-group &optional ALL)

Exit the newsgroup, ask for new articles, and select the newsgroup.
