Title: Sbe2.655 rob Roberts 3 1/2 inch federal tss 7x9
Post by: greentag on May 12, 2020, 09:37:19 PM
Tried some tss finally,tried several loads by browning and federal but these 3 1/2 inch 7x9 were crazy good,put 429 in ten inch circle at 40 with a really good twenty also...it won't let me load pics,but the twenty yard was amazing too,with a good even pattern and not just a hole like long beards always made in my gun.,will defiantly be shooting these next season.magblends is what I have been shooting and they would always do around 220 in a ten inch circle with a really good looking pattern,but an extra 200 and the way these things hit the board I was shooting,I will definitely be shooting the 7x9 can't wait to hit a bird with one of them.

Nice to read your results. Sounds like great numbers as interested in your 20yrd pattern
!
I've patterned about everything in my SBE2, but those and just picked up those on the resent cabelas/BPS sale.
I will be trying them out if a RR.640, IC.665, and probably my Hevi13port.667 will post findings.
I shot hevi-18tss in 7s this season.

I like your results. Thanks for posting!

Thanks,I have done quite a bit of patterning the last 5 years since I got this sbe2,it's the best I have seen so far In it.. I messaged Rob Roberts and asked them about shooting the tss in that choke before I did,he said .655 is good for 24 inch barrel,but if you have a 26 or longer you would want to open it up to at least a .660....mine is the 24 inch so I figured I would try them,glad I did,just hate that they are so expensive

Interesting
I'm wondering if that is why they stoped installing the .640 in their custom gun?!

It may be,I know I looked at one of the performance shop sbe3 with the pistol grip like I have on my gun,it had the same .655 choke in it as I have got....I have an old nova that I have a Hastings .640 in,and it says lead shot only wrote on the choke,I shoot the old Winchester supremes 3 1/2 inch # 5 in it and for regular lead it shoots a really good pattern,I hunted over twenty years with that combo until I got this sbe2...I didn't need the new gun as that nova always killed them as far as I will ever shoot at a turkey,but I just always wanted a sbe2 with that steady grip,and finally just got me one...I love it,it so much thinner than that nova,And that  steady grip is the cats meow for turkey,lol
