I plan on traveling to Virginia in 3 weeks does any one have any in sight to off..i think i am starting somewhere in the George Washington National Forest... Thanks Greg

Congrats on the bird

i have not tried the mag blend but have had good numbers and field experience with both 3 and 3.5 inch xr #6

congrats nice way to start off the season

i will agree with mudhen ...although number are higher with em the xr rocks em alot harder.... i have killed a few with each, em and xr and the xr kills have never left a turkey flopping from 5 to 40 yds .. the em kills have never been a real smasher on the turkeys... i would like to try some mag blend with the 1200 fps

mudhen how much of a varience to you really see between h13 loads in regards to your POI, right now i am shooting the 2 1/4 oz number 7s and had to add a fast fire 2 because i was shooting about 8 inches to the right but with the win xtended range 2 oz 6s i was shooting right on....is this normal...i also shoot a sbe2 with a jellyhead

pretty much anything that you use will do the job at 30 yards and if you truly limit yourself to thirty yards i wouldnt waste money on the top dollar loads and chokes. if you want to maximize performance with your gun then i think that hevi 13 is the way to go, with either the straight number 7s or the new magnum blend. i have also had some pretty good patterns in my sbe2 with winchester xtended range

i sent you a pm

great for hunting coyotes if your into that...just like anything else it gets expensive tho

you really cant go wrong with a primos jellyhead for the price

i love my pistol grip ... you can hold real steady and it does disipate some of the recoil

I got some excellent numbers with 3.5" 2.25 oz #7 hevi 13...over 300 in the 10" circle ill try to post some pics later

I had a stoeger m2000 and got great results with a hevi shot compatable HS Undertaker...i believe it was and .675 constriction and hevi 13 #6

i would definately use something with a more open constriction

Nice patterns i would like to try some mag blend but i have enough of the straight 7s for this year

I finally got my hands on some H13 #7 3.5 inch. I was amazed at the patterns, at 42 yds with a range finder I put 309 and 299 in a ten inch cirlce. Im shooting a SBE2 with a 24 " bbl and a .660 Jellyhead choke. I just need to slide my sights over a tad and will be all set. I would post a pic but can figure out how.

mpage can you post a pic of your choke to show the diff in porting than on the hevi website

mudhen Have you had a chance to shoot any H13 #7 in your sbe2 with the ic or the jellyhead

sorry i was talking about the second pic with the mag blend

looks like the pattern went mostly to right, but looks pretty good, I would shoot at a larger piece of paper to see what the whole pattern looks like then go to a turkey target to get tuned in.

I agree with CH, handle the SBE with different barrel legnths and see which one you like. I also like the 24 and have had no problems swinging on crows and geese. Although both my turkeys were shot at a combined 25 yards my gun with a carlsons choke and a jellyhead choke are more than capable at 40 yards. Hope this helps good luck I dont think you can go wrong with and barrel on a SBE Thanks Greg
