RE: Benelli choke/shell ??
I shoot a Benelli SBE and I called Chuck Boswell at Kick's to talk with him about it. I would suggest the same. He told me to go with the Gobblin Thunder (.660) and shoot 3" Winchester Supreme High Velocity #5's. The High Velocity is important, not just Winchester Supremes.

RE: Benelli choke/shell ??
I also shoot a SBE. I was told a Gobblin Thunder .655, ported would be the tightest to go. Any thighter would be worse than too big.
I shot several different makes and size of shells with it. ( Some sporting goods stores will sell you a mix of shells.) I got my best pattern with #6 HV federal prem. I've been told that #6 don't have enough knock down,( brush, long range, etc.) so I might go with # 5 also.
With my Benelli I can shoot untill I'm tired and not hurt, have some fun and shoot it up !!

I don't shoot a benelli, but my pops does, he shoots a SBE with the factory full choke and winchester black deaths (Supreme HV #6) and ends each season with a seasons limit every year. So, it works for him.
