SBE 2 & Roberts- Final Strut .650 choke....one DEADLY combo!!!!

[Tidewater Tom]

Great thread.  I was going to buy some Fed Heaveyweights when they went on sale this year and was looking for a choke.  The RR .650 looks like the trick for my Super Vinci.

This is my Benelli SBE 2 with a Rob Roberts Final Strut .650 choke tube shooting H-13/ 3.5"/ 2.25oz./#7 shot. It put 336 pellets in a 10" circle @ 40yds. I believe this will do the trick....HOWEVER, only traveling @ 1090fps compared to the MagBlend @ 1200fps ....I was picking some of the #7 shot out of the particle board,basically what I'm saying is I believe that this load will kill a turkey @ 40yds. but I don't believe it would be a good idea to go past that. I know I'm gonna get some nay-sayers about this ,but thats alright because I specifically set this up as a test,it was a new piece of particle board,so I KNOW what's -what. If anyone has any hunts they care to share using this load ( H-13/ 3.5"/2.25oz./ #7 shot) please let's hear em'....HAPPY HUNTIN' EVERYBODY!!!!!

I, too, am getting 330-340s with my SBE2 and hevi 13 7s 3.5"
I'm wondering what you were getting or thought was good for the magblend 5-6-7s?
Thanks!

I never really gave the blend it's due diligence b/c of how well the straight 7s shot. But here's what I got.
Roberts final strut .655 w/3.5" =211 in 10"
IC .665 w/3.5" =175 in 10"
A  buddy on here got 254 in 10" with a Roberts final strut .655 but it was with a 3" blend.
Cut N Run on here got a very even  338 in 10" with again a 3" shell running straight 7s, so you may want to message him and see if he tried the blends. Seems to me the SBE 2s like a 3" shell better than 3.5" .....
