ScoutII Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Sorry about another tube question but I have it down to two that I want. I have a SBEII and want to know which patterns better. They are both pretty expensive so before I buy I would like some advice.I plan on shooting the Hevi Shot. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flhawghuntr Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 If your planning on shooting Nitro's Hevi shot I would get the Rhino. From what I seen with the Rhino it patterns most loads pretty good through my gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudhen Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Sorry about another tube question but I have it down to two that I want. I have a SBEII and want to know which patterns better. They are both pretty expensive so before I buy I would like some advice.I plan on shooting the Hevi Shot. Thanks in advance. I tried a Kick's .660 with lead and Win XR #6's. I was less than impressed with the results. HS likes a more open choke, so you may need a .665 or .670? I have a Rhino .660 which was my primary choke until I tested a Primos Jellyhead in .660. The both work well, but the JH is maybe a tad tighter. I'd call both companies to see what they recommend for HS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TookyriverCalls Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Scout, I plan on getting the Rhino for my Big Ben. I'll still have the jellyhead for when we the TRC pro staff get together for the Benelli sight in We need to get on Ken to make that purchase RobinVT just bought a Benelli 20ga! I'm selling him my 20ga jellyhead tube seeing I already just picked up the Rhino 20ga tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutII Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Are you planning on shooting the Nitro's with big ben? I was looking at the price and almost fell out of my chair.Last year I shot the Winchester Supreme Xtended 3" #6 out of my Thompson Center Pro Hunter. I'm still not sure what to shoot out of the SBE.

Spur Collector Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I was looking at Kicks and Indian Creek. I ended up going with Indian Creek. Kicks is not Hevishot compatible. Mike at Indian Creek was super nice. He sent me the .665 and the .655 and said keep whichever shoots the best. I kept the .655. I'm getting really nice patterns with Hevi-13 in 5s and 6s. It's the combo I'll be shooting this year. Not trying to sell you on Indian Creek, even though that probably sounded like a commercial. I was just rambling on to say Kicks says don't shoot Hevishot through their tubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spur Collector Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Heres a side note... Hevi-13 has a $5 rebate per box right now. Up to 5 boxes. You can print out rebate from website. They probably have the rebate coupons at the store. I'm going to buy a box today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TookyriverCalls Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Oh yeah!! I've got a box of 25 in my office right now. I still need to pattern it with the other ammo I told you about but the Nitro will be the main load going through him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Gauge Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 both the Rhino & Kick's (.660's) pattern well with my copper plated and nickle plated "reloads"......#5's seem to shoot better in the Rhino & #6's from the Kick's! Found similar results with Federal's Flight Control copper plated loads. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I have not seen a need to shoot Hevi-Shot (or other non-toxic) on Turkey's.......and this is coming from a man who uses it on geese!!! Before someone asks.....I like it for two reasons on geese 1.) can't use lead. 2.) shoots like lead (better than steel)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
