bkirsch Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I have purchased several boxes of Winchester Supreme 3.5 inch #6 Turkey loads. I have not purchased any aftermarket chokes. I am going to break-in my new LH SBEII 26-inch this weekend and will use these rounds. Is there any problem with using the Benelli's full choke with these rounds. I found that the shot is a copper-coated lead. Benelli's literature states the choke is not approved for steel. I was wondering about the copper-coated lead shot..

bkirsch Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 I did not receive a response. I did some break-in with the Turkeys loads with full choke. I did not seem to have any problems. One item I did find was... the supposed recoil system does not work on these type of loads. I had my new SBEII and my buddy had his new Super X2. We shot the same loads through both guns and experienced the same recoil on our black & blue shoulders... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodark Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 if you think your SBE hurts, just think if you were shooting a side by side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Imagine how bad it would have been if the recoil systems on these two wonderful firearms weren't reducing the recoil by a large percentage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkirsch Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 I thought I would get a response... I agree... SO the X2 which is hundreds of dollars cheaper and much faster than the SBE2 is the equivalent of a SBE2. Interesting.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 In terms of recoil under heavy loads, I'd say they are pretty close to equals. In terms of lasting quality and performance... post back in 20 years and let me know how your pal's X2 is doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkirsch Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 In 20 years, It probably would break my shoulder. Too bad, we do not have an Amercian Company that can match Benelli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
