What choke/shell combo has patterned best for yals sbe2 ??

I haven't tested a lot of chokes but I use a kicks mod and its deadly

I like Remington sureshot

Those sure shots are cheap too huh?? I'm trying to get away from black cloud to me they are just an overpriced shell that does the same damn thing a cheaper shell does than they make a choke "SPECIFICALLY" for that expensive shit so you spend more money on that junk

I have a trulock mod and shot some fasteel out of it and it did alright. But I'm sure there is a better combo

I agree with forever draggin the kicks mod is bad ass

I think it was 14 a box last yr

I tried Kent's a few times and the gun seemed to like it, but they too dirty, always getting powder n my eyes, and they aren't waterproof so ill buy em if that's all they got but I try to grab something else

I like to use Winchester drylock 1 3/8 oz #2

Kicks extended range full. I leave it in all season and it has proven to be very consistent.

another vote for kicks, got a mod, and a long range love them both

Briley goose getter IM. Remington sportsman Steele. 1 3/8 oz. # 2 out of my sbe2 around $50 for the choke

I put a new barrel(sbe 2) on my old sbe this year. So far my factory mod is out performing everything with 75-80% patterns at 40 yards.

I was just going to say to try some of the factory chokes next time you go to pattern a gun!You will be fooled how good some shoot!

I have herd that the sbe2 chokes are some of the best might have to try it out as soon as I got the gun I got the trulock so never even used em

I tried with several carlsons and brileys. Both brands work great in all the other guns I own but for that barrel I haven't found a load/choke combo that will beat it. I've tried tighter constrictions,more open construction, heavier payloads,lighter payloads, faster and slower but that factory mod throws a damn good consistent pattern.

The only thing I don't like about it is its a flush choke. Atleast with extended chokes if it swells in the threads you can grab it with a small pipe wrench or pliers to get it out.

On the same train with kicks. I've been shooting hevi metal with it for the past few years and it's done good so far.

To me the heck metal is just like the black cloud over priced and have to buy a choke specifically for it I don't believe in all that but than again never tried it so I won't knock it just think its a little on the pricey side to do the same thing a Winchester or Remington will do

I shot heavy metal with a kicks modified, had. Lot of cripples

I spent a ton of time and money testing this out a few years back. I tried kicks, Indian creek, Carlson, Briley, Angle Port, Wad Wizard and Patternmaster chokes. I ended up keeping the Paternmaster and sold all the others. I like shooting one shell for geese and ducks. Rogers had a great sale on Remington nitro steel 3.5" BB 1 9/16oz @1300 fps, so I bought several cases. That combo is flat out deadly! Have killed geese and ducks out to 75+ yards with it. Not that it's a habit, but some times you get those sailers. I can reach out and crush them no problem. I won't shoot anything else. It also patterns my lead 5's great for Sodak pheasants, and have killed 3 turkeys with it. Each at 20+ yards.

Patternmaster tubes all the way

That's gotta blow up the ducks in decoy range though

What shell is good with the patternmaster

I'm gonna try fasteel this season because the price of hevi metal went up. How many of y'all like it?

I loved fasteel out of my trulock mod but is a little dirty and don't get them wet

Fast steel are good shells and I've had luck out of blindside

One thing to keep in mind with pattern masters, they don't perform as well with faster loads. Anything in the 1500 fps and higher range. Now I have no first hand knowledge because I've never owned a pattern master but that's what I've been told. Also if you check their website I believe it will state this.

I patterned the red box federals at 1500 and they were fine. I wouldn't go any faster tho. I think they discounted those shells and now federal only does blue box speed shok or something like that.

steel? whats steel? i use lead

If price is your only concern with black cloud either shoot better or Work overtime to buy black cloud
