Here's a couple patters from my Benelli SBE II with a 26 inch barrel and a .660 Jellyhead stuffed in the front. Both patterns were shot with 2010 lot #'s and were at a measured 40 yards(120feet) from the end of the barrel.
First up the 6's coming in at 240 in the 10 at 40

And then the 7's coming in at 310 in the 10 at 40

Nice patterns ....looks like my benelli high and either left or right depending on the load.
Awesome patterns ! What lot #'s ?
Nice patterns!
Both are nice patterns.
Looks like it may be time for some sights now. ;)
I shoot a sbe 2 and the jellyhead .660 was my first choice shooting the same shells that you are.... but my results were very different... not good at all... then I got a sumtoy choke in .650 which is putting up excellent numbers twice what I was getting out of the jellyhead..those are great patterns..
Looks like a great pattern. Question, I have the same set up and was wondering if you ever had the POI differ from the POA. I now have a scope on mine to correct it and I 've heard that this is not unusal for the SBII's. Just curious. Love the paterns out of these guns though.
great looking patterns
The POI was different than the POA on my benlli also.... I put a set of williams firesights on mine to correct it.. I don't like scopes or red dots on my shotgun.. I like to be able to see the whole picture at once. A scope or red dot will correct this also... might want to give one a try.

When I first got it, out of the box, it hit about a foot right, and 8 inches high. I used the shim kit to get it to hit dead on left and right, and about 4 inches high. I aim for the wattles on a turkey, instead of the head, so I can still see what I'm aiming at, instead of covering his head with the bead. The gun hits dead on, but I shot those patterns just resting on my elbow, off of a wobbly bench. If I rest it on sandbags, or my knee as I do when I'm hunting, it's hits dead on. I had a red dot on one of my turkey guns before, but didn't really care for it. I like the bead. No batteries to die, no wrong power to be set on, no hard time getting my head in the right position if I'm shooting at a weird angle. Just simple, easy and deadly
Lot #s Please!!!

Lot #s Please!!!
300159 for the 6's and 300236 for the 7's
Great patterns !!!
Those are great. I'm gonna have to slip in some of those as extras when I run out of TSS.
Very nice! Have you ever polished that barrel?? You numbers should only improve and i'm told it can help 'true' up the POI.
If you do polish...just don't get to aggresssvie with it, there is a sticky thread at the top :icon_thumright:

you cant do much actual polishing on them due to the chrome barrel but there are ways to get the same results with light scrubbing.
I've deep cleaned it, and used kroil, hoppes, and one of those green kitchen scrubbers(not the metal ones) on it. It got a lot of the gunk out of the barrel even after it looked clean and shiny from the regular cleaning. I know some people have, but I would never polish a chrome lined barrel. The deep cleaning/scrubbing did help some, to the tune of about 20-30 pellets
