PKduckslayer Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 What's everybody's take on best ammo for the SBE2? I've had mine for years and can't seem to find the best shot pattern. I have a Carlson's long range choke tube, but it doesn't pattern well at all even with black cloud shells. In fact, I haven't had a black cloud shell that has patterned well at all. Shooter error? I'd hope not.... Standing still at multiple distances right on target and was still disappointed. The only pattern that looked like a kill shot was at 30 yards. Keep using the aftermarket choke? Switch away from Black Cloud shells? Any suggestions? -------------------------------------------- "If it flies it dies!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cootcommander Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Here is a pic of my pattern with Black Cloud #2 3.5" at 40 yds with a Briley standard extended non ported choke. I tried all the BC chokes from Briley and Carlson as well as about 10 different other chokes and constrictions, but the Briley LM did the best. 30 inch circle by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKduckslayer Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 What a great looking pattern! Mine didn't turn out a thing like that; the only 3.5" shell I used was BB, but you would think it would look SIMILAR to yours, but it definitely wasn't. Looks like you found the choke for your gun! You shooting a SBE2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cootcommander Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Yes I shoot a SBE2. I had similar results with this same choke and BB's. Also make sure you shoot a big piece of paper(4x6) so you can tell where the pattern is. I once had a SBE1 that shot so high I thought the pattern was poor but really it just wasn't on the paper. My SBE2 shoot high as well. I switched to the "c" and it's fixed it. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkirsch Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 My SBE2 patterns well using BC#2 with the Benelli IC choke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
