I have a Benelli SBE its had the forcing cone lenghtened. I will be shooting Magnum Blend.
40 yrds 10"
primos 233
rhino 337
truglo 181
I was going to get some more chokes. I am thinking about Indian Creek, Pure Gold and Stranger and possible Wrights.
What kind of results is everyone else getting??
What does rhino 337 mean?
That was your pattern at 40 yards with a mag blend shell?
Are you getting 337 in a 10" at 40 yards using a Rhino and Mag. Blend ? I would love to see a pic of that !!

I agree! If you are getting 337 in a 10" circle at 40 with mag blends and that rhino, I don't think you really need to look any further.

No need to look for anything else with a pattern like that.
The Choke is a Rhino .673 if i can figure out how to post a picture I get it on here. I am wanting 90% of the shot in a 10" circle at 40 yrds. According to Magnum Blend there is approximately 500 shot in a 3.5" shell. My figure is about 450 shot in 10" at 40 yrds is my dream. :z-guntootsmiley:

The ONLY way your gonna see 450 out of 500 in the 10" at 40 yards is to....
1. Hand load TSS
2. Shoot at 20 yards instead of 40
Best of luck.
if you want 450 your going to have to shoot it at 30 yds :whip2:
do you use a 40" barrel?

I hate to be a doubter, but either you got a load of mag blends that is heavily skewed towards 7.5s to 8s.. Or you paced off 40 yards and you played "Mini Me" in the Austin Powers series..

As far as what is in the Magnum Blend I don't know. and the range was shot with a range finder from end of gun barrel to target. Also I try and count the shot in a 20" circle today to see what it is. If I reach 400+ shot in a 10" at 40 yrds I believe I have reach my goal.
Has anybody ever shot the Stranger Chokes i believe they are new on the market only for a year or two.
Ive shot a lot of Mag blends with a lot of chokes guns etc and never broke the 250 mark (with most patterns being in the 220-230 range at 40 yds...) are you sure you didnt lose track while counting and add an extra hundred in there?
I dont mean to speculate but the rest of your patterns sound about right for that load but breaking 300 for the Mag Blends doesnt sound right to me.
If you're serious about breaking 400- your going to want to get a hold of some TSS and start handloading.

Thats funny Shootum :z-winnersmiley:
You must not be looking for a hunting pattern, cause if you happen to get 400 in 10" at 40 yards then a 15 - 20 yards you are shooting a 22 rifle, well that is a little exaggeration, but may not be too far off. No thanks, for hunting purposes 200-250 at 40 in 10" is perfect, imo.
Someone ask how the pattern is in a 20" circle at 40yrds. Trying to draw a circle with tape measure is not easy but from best i can tell. there is less 100 shot outside a 20" mark. I'll count exactly when I can sit down.
Someone asked about the pattern in a 20" circle. Outside the 20" circle there were 77 pellets on the paper. As far as the 90% it's goal, we'll see what kind of pattern I get when my new choke gets in.

I agree, sounds like a bunch of excuses to me!
Its getting that time of year when folks come on these boards and post up some huge number better than anything we have seen through our collective efforts and than have no proof or anything..
Its getting to the point I look at certain folks threads only because I actually believe they have valid data.. Even pics anymore do not justify everything as their is no way of determining if they pace or measure 40 yards.. It also goes for bad patterns as well, joe scmo posts up X combo sucked in my gun and he fails to tell you he has put 500 rounds through his gun since its last cleaning and shot the choke before getting the grease out.. I also enjoy the posts where folks have shot 2,3,4 of the same combo to see consistency.. Any gun choke, load combo can put up huge numbers once, but is it repeatable..

Exactly.... Consistency is of the utmost priority when looking for the shell/choke/gun combination. :icon_thumright:
i am sorry to say this. but do u know what yards are ? just seems like these numbers are way way to high

Why do you care Tom you have shot plenty of shells i think you know what that load will do we all know it is BS you are right it starts every year just before turkey season all the crap that is put out for true
Went out Saturday, shot again I didn't break the 300 mark but I did get real close 296. If someone will pm me I'll send the picture and maybe they can get it posted. i have tried several times and I just get error messages. My new problem my B square mount busted so I have call them in the morning and try to get a new one sent.

:agreed: I posted 294 - 835 , IC.675 , HS 2 1/4 7s. First shot was 262 which was second shot after cleaning (fired a cheap load first). Who knows what the next shot would be? Maybe more maybe less. I can kill him
