I don't have a SBEII but do have an Xtrema (Optima +) which IC sells the same choke for. The SBEII does have a bore diameter that is .007-.008 smaller though. The magic number on choke exit diameter for the Xtrema is .671-.675. The best IC patterns I got out of that gun and Hevi 2.25 oz 7's was in the 280's with a .675 w/o wad catchers. The .665 w/ wad catchers shot in the 250's. Both with lot #300324. The Hevishot brand choke with a .671 diameter shot a high of 331 with the same lot # loads. Take it for what it's worth.

I've shot that gun for many years.  Not so easy to pattern for me.

My favorite set-up right now is the .660 JH & 3" MB.
