Hey guys, I've got benelli SBEII with a 26 inch barrel. Currently I shoot hevi 13 6s nd 7s out of an Indian Creek BDS, and a Wright's No. 3. Those combos shoot great, but with the prices of HTL going up, I'm looking to get head of the game, and find a good lead combo. So, what seems to shoot good out of the benelli as fars a lead goes. Chokes, loads, etc. I know every gun is different, I'm just looking for a good point to start.

Best I found where win hv 3.5 2 oz out of a hs undertaker choke believe it or not... I wish I still had the choke I don't remember the numbers ... When the weather turns I'm going to see what they do in the Indian creek

Start with Winchester HV or if you can find them the old Fed Pre-FCW lead loads and the chokes you already have.

I've been looking high and low for "lead gold". None to be found anywhere around here. Based on what I've been reading, it seems the Winchester HV loads are the go to, or at least a good place to start.

 I shoot a m2 Benelli. Should be about same except not 3.5. I shoot a kicks .655 and 3 17/8 6 Winchester red shell. I get around 120-130 in 10" at forty. Also shoots the hv black shells good. I'm in the 110-120 with 5's. hope this helps. From what I hear the Benelli barrels I.D.  Is sometimes smaller than standard and likes the tighter chokes.

when i hunted with my SBEII i had unreal results with a kicks .660, and win 3.5", 2 1/4 oz #6s

They will want a small choke.  650 to 660

Well, the wrights is a 650, so that might be the ticket.

Agreed.  I would try Winchester HV's and XX's first.

Not to sound like a broken record but I'd start with Win HV 5's and 6's. My SBE2 patterns well with both through a kicks .655
