Favorite Shell size in SBE II

[saadivirk]

Hi,

I want know about one thing about the SBE II below:

 

The Super Black Eagle II

 

BNL 10101

 

SBE II 28" Comfor-Tech MAX-4.

 

Me a regular user of Shells 12-Guage size 2 ¾(inches) I don’t like 3 (inches) sells. I know that in the above SBE II, I can use 2 ¾ (inches), 3 (inches), 3 ½ (inches) all these sizes of Shells.

 

And I don’t want to use the 3 (inches), 3 ½ (inches) Shells regularly. My regular Shell size is 2 ¾.

 

But on the Benelli’s web site, it is clearly written that “minimum recommended load, use 3-dram 1 3/8 oz loads in all Benelli 12-ga. Semi-auto shotguns”. What is this means? I need explanation?

 

Now let me know if I use 12-Guage size 2 ¾(inches) in SBE II (above Gun), then what will happen? Is it fit to my requirement?

 

And I can use 12-Guage size 2 ¾(inches) in SBE II (above Gun)?

 

Reply me soonest.

 

Regards,

Elen

I doubt its 1-3/8 oz. thats a pretty heavy load, I'm pretty sure its 1-1/8. that refers to the weight of the shot in the shell.

 

my sbe have shot more 3" than 2-3/4" but they all work fine if they are at least 1-1/8 oz. loads. anything below 1-1/8 oz. get a bit light and may not cycle the action.

I've shot Winchester AA's and Lightfield reduced recoil slugs out of an SBEII ... with no problems.
