  1. There is no choke that compares to the Rhino chokes. At 50 yards I am placing over 100 pellets consistintley in the head and neck.

     

    You spent for the Benelli, why go cheap on the choke?

  2. Under most circumstances I would agree that 74 yards is too risky, but when its open field that changes things. I have run down more than 1 wounded bird before.

     

    In the woods I would not even think of it.

     

    When I first started spring gobbler hunting I shot one in the woods at a long distance and the thing ran right at me. I let it go by then shot it again LOL.

  3. If you don't like the JH get a Rhino. It's one of the best decisions I have made as far as guns go.

     

    If you want some seriously dense, tight patterns with some umph try Nitro Ammunition's triplex loads with Hevi Shot.

  4. Well, that is a long shot. I took the bird that had nowhere but field to fly, and there was plenty of time for the follow up.

     

    I would not advise most people to take a shot like that, but it's a case of no your gun and your situation. I would not have attempted that shot with my 870 or factory ammunition.

     

    BTW,

    Here he is....

  5. I purchased the Rhion .660 for my SBEII and fired 3.5" XR #5's today. The pattern was a kill at 40, but not what I was hoping.

     

    From your experience with these, how many kill hits should I expect at that range?

     

    Also, will I get more kill hits or a denser pattern from the 6 shot?

  6. I sighted in my gun, but I want to make sure I did it right since a shot gun with pellets is a lot different than a rifle.

     

    What yardage do I start at?

     

    Can I use field/target loads to sight and have the same POI with the expensive loads.

     

    I have an SBEII with a Rhino.660 choke. I will be hunting with Win XR 3 or 3 1/2 inch depending on pattern with #6 shot.

  7. Does changing chokes change POI at all?

     

    My hunting takes me from open areas to close so I am thinking of carrying 2 chokes, 1 for longer ranges and one for those close areas.

     

    The bird I whiffed the other day was at >20 yards.

     

    (I know...Learn to shoot!):)
