SBE II Rhino .660 Win XR's...

[mudhen]

This is pretty much a standard pattern from my SBE II with a Rhino .660 and Winchester 3.5" XR's #6's at 36 yards. I put the B spacer back in to get the lift in the pattern.

About 56% in the target. I'd like a few more, but this does allow for some snakey-head movement. 29 hits in the 3" is fine for me. Same for 19 in the bones.

It drops to about 45% at 40 yards.

I think this gun can do better, but it will have to do for now...

Good looking pattern, I would take that any time. I to do like them to shoot tighter but that can get you in trouble at times, LOL I found out the hard way.

Mudhen,
All of your testing has hopefully saved me some money. I bought the Rhino .660 and the 3.5" #6 Xtended Winchesters. I like the idea of a tight pattern that isn't so tight it will cause me to miss at close range. I will try to post some pics when I get a chance to pattern. Thanks for all of the good info.

Nice looking pattern, I'd say if you get one in range he'll get hammered pretty good.

Just patterned my Rhino 2" .660 in my SBE1 with Win XR 3 1/2" #5s & #6s and 3" #6s. Same results, absolutely bad ***!!!! Within 20 yards he ain't gonna have no heead.

It also patterns Hevi-Shot Dead Coyote Ts and 4 buckshot really well (better than .673) for predators.

Has anyone shot the XR #4s? If so what choke?
