What 40 yard 10" numbers are y'all getting?

I just tried some out of my SBE2 with a jellyhead and got 173.

With my SBE2 24 inch I was getting 190's with a Rhino choke.  With a PG choke I was getting same numbers as yours with a very even pattern.  I happened to use the PG hunting because of the evenness.

Sounds like a great pattern! I see some Mag Blends in my future since xtended range has dissappeared!
The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.

I got 210 with my NWTF Browning Gold, Indian Creek .665. I sure it'll do better with a clean barrel but haven't had a chance to try it.
Woo Pig Sooie!!!

I got 175 out of a Browning Maxus with IC .665, but my 20" was  390, I am more concerned with 20" instead of the 10".

257 in the 10" at 40 out of a mossberg 535 and a tightwad choke. By far the best shell and choke combo iv found for the 535.

Excited to try them out on my 870 and JH .660.

Keep in mind the higher numbers are because theres more 7's in the shell than 5's or 6's. I had 3 different lot#'s and was getting any where from 150's 170's and 190's, so i cut 1 open from each lot number and sure enough the 190 shell had more 7's and the 150 shell had more 5's

Thats very interesting NYhunter.  Makes ya wonder why we are so focused on numbers when there are so many variations with the shells.  Seems we really should be caring about the evenness and adequate numbers to kill a turkey
