tucker301 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Shoot a few boxes of heavy field loads before trying the light stuff. If you're not going to shoot light stuff, then just shoot the recommended minimum or better and keep on truckin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakejake Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 I've Been Told Three Boxes, And I've Also Been Told That It May Take Up To Six Or Seven Boxes. You Think That Three Will Do The Trick? And Yes I Will Shoot The Light Stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I'll answer that question with a question. Multiple Choice: If you run three boxes through her, and it still won't cycle light loads, what would you do next? A: Run three more boxes of the heavy stuff and hope it does the trick. B. Buy a Surecycle kit for light loads and use that when shooting at the range, swithcing back to the stock kit when hunting. C. Call Customer Service and ask them why your gun won't cycle loads lighter than the recommended minimum. D. Post on these forums what a useless POS the SBEII is.

seawolf357 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I recently purchased a SBE II as well. I spent alot of time on the forums to find out about porting, chokes, cleaning and the problems people are having. After immediate mods to the gun...porting and forcing cone by Rhino, I went to the range with a few boxes of the 3.5, 3's and 2 3/4 for chokes patterns. First two shots were 3.5, the next were light and it works fine. I even loaded it up to fire rapid succession shots, and no problems. I did take time to break it down to make sure it was well cleaned and lubed. Try it first and see if you need to spend the money of the heavy loads.
