mudhen Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 The new Federal HD Flite Control patterned horribly in both my SBE & SBE II. All Federal turk ammo has patterned poorly in every Benelli I have ever owned. I prolly could have taken the time and considerable $$$ to figure out what choke tube when with Federal load, but you can only do so much. From what I have heard, Fed Heavy needs to be tuned like HS. If your guns likes HS, it might like the Fed Heavy. mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boo Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Bowjack, give HEVI-13 a try by Environ-Metal .I used the factory mod choke and smoked a turkey at 65 yards with #6`s.I also use Briley choke tubes( Ex- Im Mod,and Lt.Mod) with excellent patterns with HEVI-13,Remington HV,Kent Tungsten Matrix.My choice for Turkey is HEVI-13 #6 or #4s and for waterfowl go with Kent Tungsten Matrix # 5s,#3s and 1s on Geese.Of all the shells that I have tryed these patterned the best at 40 and beyound and do a excellent job with the MOD Chokes.I`m shooting a Benelli SBE 11 (28") and had nothing but good results with this gun and these shells.Good hunting and hunt safe,Boo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
