Team Benelli Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I just got my new Super Black Eagle in and I love it except for the part that it wont eject out low brass 7 1/2 's, but im hoping that its just because the spring is not broken in yet and it will get better with more shooting. What is your guys imput on this? THANKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Uhhhh...follow the instructions and break it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Benelli Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 They say break it in with normal loads. Would light loads be normal enough or would you have to go up to high brass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Light loads are light loads. BTW - The manual makes no promises regarding light loads. Use standard or heavy field/trap loads. Better yet, run a couple of boxes of 3.5"'s through her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birddog Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 don't pay for the 3-1/2's get some HIGH reving and heavy 2-3/4" .. or even better ..have someone else do it for ya. each SBE is going to react differently to the "light" loads.. understand- you purchased a gun that was designed to chew HEAVY waterfowl loads.. not nibble at clay targets with 1oz of shot @ 1100fps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiohunter Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 that is my only fear with the gun. If I am going to spend $1400 for a gun then I would like it to shoot everything. I know that the recoil system is set up for 3.5" but I shoot a lot of 2.750". a lot of people say that theirs will cycle 7/8 loads but not everyone. I don't know if they can build a smiauto that will fire any loads. but I hope that someone will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Benelli Posted March 5, 2005 Author Share Posted March 5, 2005 Well I just think i need to use high brass to break it in because low 7 will eject out half the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birddog Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 careful .. brass size plays some role, but very little. Its the shell composition (components) and 'load' that make 'er go .. not the metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birddog Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 one more thing .. example: My brother owns an SBE that has no problems cycling light 7/8oz light reving loads while mine will malfunction with 'em. .. at that point its luck of the draw .. not a malfunction.

tucker301 Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 What amazes me about these "light load" posts, and there have been plenty of them, is the fact that people are buying a gun designed to shoot the heaviest loads there are, yet they seem to insist on putting pellet gun loads through them. If you want a pellet gun, go buy one. If you want the best friggin magnum autoloader on the market, then buy the Eagle; and feed it a proper diet.

Choclabman Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Both of my SBE II's will cycle 1oz loads all day long. 7/8? No. Tucker is 100% correct. The SBE/SBEII are hunting shotguns. The ability to cycle light loads is cool, but not needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birddog Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 yea tucker .. one stop at the search button and folks would have a months worth of reading.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drundel Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 My SBEII throws out 1 oz. just fine, but it won't do anything with 7/8 oz. loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Benelli Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 I am 100% possitive with a little time and wear on the spring in the eagle it will eject anything you put through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyhair Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I'm sure a weak spring will shoot weak loads sure.. but it wasn't designed for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Benelli Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 Well it better for 1,400 dollars but its a break in time is all, everyone with an eagle that i know will shoot light loads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
