bowhnter Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 I have a SBE II with a Kicks Gobblin Thunder .665 choke. I shoot 3 1/2 #5. Any suggestions on what brand of shells to shoot? Quote
Mr. Mac Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 That's one of those questions that has no good answer until you pattern your SBE with a couple of different brands and decide which one patterns best. I know my Winchester likes Winchester Super-X shot and my Remington likes Federal's MagShok best. Quote
cool_fp Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I dont know but If you got any idea kindly let us know as well thanks. Quote
jtk47 Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 i shoot nitro brand shells. They are out of Missouri. Expensive but man they shoot a tight pattern, i have shot all the major brands and they are the best I have seen. Depending on the year and model of the gun he has a custom shot designed for the gun.

mudhen Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I'm not a fan of Kick's GT in SBE's - just can't get the pattern I want. If I had to choose a shell, it would be large lead from Winchester - like HV 4's or 5's. Good luck! Quote

colby caughron Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) i shoot nitro brand shells. They are out of Missouri. Expensive but man they shoot a tight pattern, i have shot all the major brands and they are the best I have seen. Depending on the year and model of the gun he has a custom shot designed for the gun. i checked out the nitro web page!!!! they are expensive like you said but man do they ever put in the time to get you the right shot and choke for your gun.... to cool!!! i dont turkey hunt alot but i wouldnt mind throwing a few duck loads out of mine to see how they are!!! you turkey guys can send in your gun and they will make you a custom load and choke combo for 325 bucks!!! then they send it back with five shells!!! that could be five birds down if you trust thier patterning!!!

mudhen Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 what are you hunting? This was posted in the Turkey Hunting forum, so I'm guessing he is hunting turkeys Quote
