mudhen Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 This year I played around with all sorts of other guns, chokes, loads, etc. But as usual, the Benelli just keeps winning my favor when turkey season comes around. SBE II, B Shim, Primos Jellyhead .660, and 3.5" Winchester XR 6's. The patterning board was just getting hammered! The H-13 was a bit affected by the wind. I may not get a bird, but it won't be the gun's fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdkidaho Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Wow - that is a "really" nice pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swat1018 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Have you noticed any penetration problems with the XR 6's. I patterned them in three different gun/choke combos with great patterns. But, each time I found shot in the paper plate! I removed the plate and found A LOT of shot on the surface of the plywood the plate was stapled to. Not impressed with the energy. Just wondering if you found the same, my nitro 4 x 5 x 7 penetrated the plywood with the 4's at 40 yds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGWILD Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Do not use plywood as a target backer? plywood happens to be some dense material and hardly feel it could be used as a benchmark for penetration? but it's basically whatever you feel works best for you, i feel that any hev-shot is better than any lead product but using plywood for a penetration test? turkeys kneck is not quite as hard as plywood so how could this be compared to a non kill?

HOGWILD Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Looks like a couple well penetrated Gobblers , did you have them stand in front of a plywood pattern board prior to penetration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I've gotten good patterns with my SBE and briley super turkey win 3.5 #6 and great patterns with my rhino 660 and 4x5x7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
