SBE2 26in barrel...
recommend a CHOKE w/ Apex TSS load?
thx in advance!
[fyi: i own Rhino .670; IC .665, and CarlsonXR .665 tubes]
IC 665 should work with the 3.5 9s. You can call or Email Apex on their suggestion as well.

I would almost bet that the IC .665 will shoot really good out of your black eagle with the TSS. Definitely give it a shot before spending more money. Also, the Carlson's XR .665 shoots really good in some guns as well. Not quite as dependable from gun to gun as your IC will generally prove to be, but I have some awesome patterns from the Carlson's XR .665. If you are not happy with either of them, you might give the Jeb's Headhunter .665 a shot as well, but I bet you get a great pattern from the chokes you already have in your possession. Sumtoy also makes excellent chokes. Wish you well either way.
thx. gentleman w Apex suggested 3' 2 1/4 oz. #9s w/ .675 IC
I wanted advice from those who've patterned the SBE2 w Apex
I'm shooting a Kicks.665 out of my SBE2 using Federal TSS #9 with great results.
TB, u using 3 or 3.5 inch TSS w/ Kicks?
Those will all shoot well, just depends on the pattern your looking for. I have an old primos original jelly head in my sbe2. It shoots everything I feed it! It's a .660
Never shot TSS from it, that's for the 20ga.

great patterns Sixes..
These were made in February after putting on a new Holosun with the circle and dot, I was little high on the 25 and I dialed the Holosun down a touch and then it was as good as I can shoot. The circle in the sight is perfect to circle around the target or a gobbler's head.
Plus, my gun seems to shoot better a bit dirty, which is good for me.
Great patterns after you got the Holosun dialed in.
I have a a HS510C on my Stevens 410 and love it!
Bought another HS510C along with a HE510-GR today. I think I like the green dot a little better.
I am shooting a Benelli M2 12 gauge with Indian Creek 665, APEX 3 Inch 9s 2.25 ounces. Also have a Trijicon red dot.
On my other gun which is a Ithaca model 37 "Turkey Slayer, it has a pinned/welded barrel. Briley non-ported Turkey choke, Holosun HS510C. Also shooting the APEX both are devastating!!!!
Have a good one

Anything in the .665 is a good place to start
Runngun, did you count avg. pellets in a 10 in. circle at 40y w ur 12g Benelli set up?
I have a 1970s Ithaca 37F in 20 gauge i'm sending to gunsmith to get shaped up for a turkey gun. What shell/choke combo are you shooting outta the Ithaca, if a 20g?
Thanks for all the replies fellas.....
I did not count the pellets from the Benelli M2 12. It was way to many. I will try and post a picture of the pattern. Apex #9s 40 yards from the front of shooting bench, with a Nikon range finder.
My Ithaca is a 12.
Have a good one
