travis13 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I am getting a Gobblin Thunder for my SBEII and would like to know what constriction you recommend. I will be shooting Winchester Supreme Elite (Extended Range) #5's and Winchester Supreme #5's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spur Collector Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Opinions are going to vary on this, and guns vary a litle too. Most people will probably say .660. I have a friend who shoots the .655 and #5s and gets awesome patterns. When I buy a Kicks tube it will be .655. Over constricting can blow your pattern, but I've seen my friends patterns, and they aren't blown at all. I shoot the Indian Creek in the .655 and Hevi-13 #5s. I actually shot the .665 Indian Creek along side the .655 with a few different brands on ammo and the .655 was a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flhawghuntr Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 The thing to do is get the choke and then find a load that works for your set up. Each gun and shell/choke combo shoots differently though it is a good point to start to narrow your choices by checking what others are shooting.

HUNT2HUNT Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I went with the Kicks Gobblin Thunder in .655 for my SBE2. Have not shot it yet. I have read a lot on this subject and a lot of SBE2 owners prefer the jellyhead. I may buy it and compare it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNT2HUNT Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I must be nuts the more I think about this. I buy a SBE2 and it comes with a set of crio chokes,and I still go out and buy 1 and probably 2 more chokes. Spending cash on a hunting sport never seems to end,excluding the high price of ammo.

bowhntr1980 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 For the money, you may want to look into a Jellyhead .660 which you can shoot hevishot through too. Around $42.00 total with shipping from www.wingsupply.com I had the best results out of my SBE II using Hevi 13 3.5" 2 1/4 oz. #6 shot. Check out some of the other threads to see some of the results. I think Mudhen uses a jellyhead with Win. XR and he is satisfied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
