Which choke with Benelli SBE 1???

[Mailman]

My sbe2 patterns great with tss #9's. Over 400 @40 with IC .665. But as said many times before. Every gun is different.

Which Hastings do u have since it shoots poa? What numbers do u get with it? Also, make sure that magazine cap is tight if that ic is shooting that low

Well guys just got back from the range and patterned the IC and Jellyhead.  The Indian Creek hits about 9 inches low at 40 and about 14 inches low at 50.  The JH hits pretty close to dead nuts poi and poa.  I have a Pure Gold choke coming this week, so don't know if it will out pattern these or not, but the Jellyhead wins.  Check out the results and let me know what you think.  I shot the Hevi 13s 3.5" 6's and 7's at 2.25oz.  Chokes were a JH .655 and a IC .665

IC/3.5"/6 shot/2.25 oz at 40 yards = 165
IC/3.5"/7 shot/2.25 oz at 40 yards = 220

IC/3.5"/6 shot/2.25 oz at 50 yards = 90
IC/3.5"/7 shot/2.25 oz at 50 yards = 140


JH/3.5"/6 shot/2.25 oz at 40 yards = 185
JH/3.5"/7 shot/2.25 oz at 40 yards = 255

JH/3.5"/6 shot/2.25oz at 50 yards = 112
JH/3.5"/7 shot/2.25oz at 50 yards = 180

What do you guys think?

By the way it was 35 degrees and fairly windy, so I'm sure with warmer weather and less wind these would have been a little better.

That's about what I'm getting from my SBE with the Jellyhead .655 and 2 1/4 oz  #7 Hevi.  What Lot # are your 7's??

[TheSportsman]

Im shooting the SBE with a Kicks .665 and Winchester Elite XR #5s and and getting 168-176 in a 10" circle at 40yd.  The Hevi 6s did very very well also.  Just love the 5s and the eveness of the pattern i had.  POI of and POA are close out to 35. at 40, hair to the left.

With 255 shot in 10" diameter at 40 yards in 35 degree temps. It will be smoking at warmer temps. How much warmer will it get there?

God Bless,

It will get quite a bit warmer here by season as we are in a cold front right now.   In two weeks it should start getting into the lower to mid 60's during the day, so it will warm up quite a bit here in IL.  Going to Kansas in mid april where it could be 70 during the day.  I wonder how much those numbers will go up in the warmer weather.

As far as the lot #'s for my 7's, I will check tomorrow and post back.  I have the empty boxes at another location right now.
