craigb703 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Could I get some recommendations on chokes/loads? I usually shoot Win Supreme BBs in my SBE1 w/ Pattern Master. I'd like to learn what people have to say before burning up a bunch of shells. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Shot sizes.... Which ducks? Which geese? How? Where? Over what? Primos Dead Zone tubes [ 09-01-2006, 06:13 AM: Message edited by: tucker301 ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rifleman1st Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Order a terror .675 from srm products and you'll never use another tube for waterfowl again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb703 Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 Tucker, Blacks, Green heads, Cans, or Giant Canadas hopefully over the decoys but sometimes skirting the spread. On the Potomac there are fixed blind sites so the locals get wise, quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb703 Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 Riffleman, SRM only has older style Benelli - I'm looking for my SBE II. I do have the Sure Cycle guts in my old SBE and it works well. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I like steel 3's and 2's on decoying ducks with the chance of geese dropping by. For strictly geese, I load a 2, followed by two BB's. If you're gonna shoot hevi-shot, then simply step down two shot sizes on each. Primos Dead Zone tubes. D is for decoy. P is for pass.

Guest BLACK JACK Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 If you can afford almost $3.00 every time you pull the trigger I like #6 Hevi-Shot on decoying ducks 2s or 4s for pass-overs. For geese go with Tuckers recommendation. As far as aftermarket tubes I would say put that money into more ammo. With one of the five factory tubes you should be able to come up with a deadly combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks You are incorrect. http://www.surecycle.com/default.asp 'Benelli Crio Choke' Just don't shoot large hard shot through a tight Terror - chokes can bulge. mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orphanedcowboy Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Have y'all looked at the Hevi-shot Dead Coyote choke tube, on the Benelli it is .670 constriction id with a 1 1/2" parallel section, I purchased one for my SBE II and one for a Mossberg 935, and planned to pattern them this week, but a stomach virus has prevented that, I will post results the minute I am done.

winchester21 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Easy question. SBE 2 . Remington Heavi shot. Modified choke. the stuff is freaking unbelievable. Deadlier than lead ever had a chance to be.Steel sucks . Terrible idea in the first place unless you like wounded birds. Just adjust shot size to what ever you are shooting.

craigb703 Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 Anyone tried the "Extended" Pattern Master? http://www.mackspw.com/item.asp?im=PAT250+11&d=PatternMaster_Extended_Choke_Tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphanedcowboy Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I patterned the Dead Coyote tubes and it shot everything tight, under 40 yds it would be devastating, I was killing crows out to 60 yds with no problem, was hammering them. I tried some Bismuth reloads around 1200 fps and the patterns were 100 % at 40 yds, I didn't get any pellets outside the 30" circle until I crossed the 50 yd mark with the SBE II. I tried it in 3 guns and only had 1 flyer outside 30" at 40 yds with the 935, the SBE II, and the M2 both stayed inside the circle. I am using a Hogdon reload in a 2 3/4" Remington hull, with 1 1/4 oz of #4's over longshot powder. I also tried them with the TM, they were tight but not as tight as the reload, and I suspect it was because of them being around 1300 fps and higher.

Rifleman1st Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 (edited) Over the last 2 weekends I've killed 14 gesse with my SBE II and ,675 TERROR tube. I used Federal premium T shot 3.5" mags. Shots ranged from in your face to over 65 yards. I've never had issue shooting large steel thru my terror tube. I bet there's over 1000 rounds of BBB and T shot thru it. Just make sure you aim for the head on those close shots. Also 1 thing that helped me immensley was I replace the front bead with a fiber optic one off of Tom Knapp's web site the difference is amazing. Good hunting, Rifleman.
