Which would you rather hunt with? (pattern pics)

[Borden811]

Well, here's what I get out of my Benelli SBE II. Both loads are Hevi-13 3.5 inch 2 1/4 oz. loads. The gun has a 26 inch barrel, and a Jellyhead .660 choke. The first pattern is the 7's and the second pattern is the 6's.  Which one would you choose to be first in line? I'm thinking about going with the 7's in the pipe, followed by 2 rounds of 6's, in the unlikely event that a follow up is needed. What say you?

I like the 7's better. Denser center, and more even throughout.

i agree with chatterbox 100%

6s cuz you are probably getting mostly 7s.

[Gobble!]

Go with the 7s
Better pattern and as long as you have the pattern they will kill at any yardage

[Tom Foolery]

I'd be packin' the #6's.

[cannonball]

Either one will do the job, my opinion is the 7's

[Hognutz]

7's first, second and third shot.

[BigPeck215]

same basic pattern, but the 6's will hit harder, go with them and save the 7's because at the rate EM is going next years 7's will pattern in the 150's

[ILIKEHEVI-13]

Personally I think your circle is bigger on the 6's. 

The 7's is the way to go.
