Down South Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Looking to find a good turkey choke tube pattern using 3 1/2 " Federal #5 shot or #6 shot. My question is what Parrellel Diameter (constriction) is working out there? It looks like the .660 Parrell Diameter is popular, anyone have good results with the .675? Quote
tucker301 Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 I shot my 26" SBEII today with hevi-shot 4's and Federal 5's. Both grouped best at 30 yards with the factory improved cylinder tube; over Patternmaster, & factory modified. You need to try different chokes and different loads in YOUR gun to determine best results. Guns and chokes vary, even if they are the same make and model. This was just discussed the other day. http://www.benelliusa.com/forums/ultimatebb.php/topic/1/1490.html#000001 Quote
GW Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Does any one have the measurements of the crio choke tubes? Quote
tucker301 Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 gwnga, The crio tubes are sized per industry standards. The five tube crio set includes the following sizes. Cylinder (.729), improved cylinder (.719), modified (.709), improved modified (.704) and full (.694). Quote
GW Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Thanks, That's exactly the info I was looking for. GW Quote
mudhen Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 In the SBE - that 26" barrel should like any good tube in .660 w/#6's. Even .655 should be good with #6's. Don't like the patterns with .665 and up. As to the the SBE II - I'll post some photos after this weekend... mudhen - CA Quote
