Shoot some heavy loads (I used/patterned turkey loads) to break-in your SBE II, so it can then cycle the lightest loads well.

Additionally, I shot a box of high brass 7 1/2's and never had a issue shooting the lightest loads on the skeet range.

Buy only extended chokes, so that you can change them without a choke wench.
