Jellyhead & SBE II...

[mudhen]

I'm a big fan of Rhino choke tubes, but the Jellyhead .660 ain't bad either. The JH seems a bit more dense in the center. I've never had 51 hits in the 3" circle with the SBE II.

36 yards with Win XR #6's...

My brother also has a Jelleyhead for his SBE II. He was using Winchester XR 3 1/2 #6's too. When he called me yesterday to tell me about his pattern he was so excited I couldn't understand him.

After seeing this I can see why!! Seems like I understood him to say he had 49 in the red, and an unbelievable amount in the kill zone.

Good job mudhen!

Yep. The target above has 51 in the red.

The choke is a slammer in the field too, photos to follow...

Mudhen,

A couple of questions on the JH pattern:

How many ounces of shot?
How many hits in the 10" circle?

Thanks for posting all your patterning results. I find them very helpful.

He said he was using Winchester Xtended Range 3.5" #6 shot.
That's 2 ounces of shot.

Yep, 2 oz in the 3.5" XR's.

234 hits in the 10" circle for about 51%. I have hand counted several XR #6's and get around 226-230 per oz.

I was impressed with the JH over the weekend...

Those are great results, twice as good as I get with the factory full. Thanks again for sharing them and providing the additional info. Sorry, somehow I missed the fact that you were using 3 1/2", I wasn't sure if it was the 3" (1-3/4 oz)or 3 1/2" (2 oz), so again, thanks and sorry if my question was redundant.

BTW, I got a nice bird Friday off public land in the Georgia mountains. The weather has been a little uncooperative here, but the birds are starting to gobble now.

Best of luck to everyone this season.

Muden,
Does the difference between the Jellyhead and Rhino warrant buying the Jellyhead? Is the pattern that much better or knock down power that much better in your opinion?

[gwgdog66]

I can't speak on the Rhino.

But, I bagged one this morning using the Jellyhead, and the Winchester XR 3 1/2 #6 at 25 yards. The Turkey bird was DRT, in it's tracks. My brother got one this evening at 30 yards with Winchester 3 #6's and rolled the bird. When we cleaned them very few pellets were in the birds torso.

Seems like the JH likes XR #6's and the Rhino likes both XR #5's & #6's.

They are very similar, but yes, I think the JH is a slightly better tube for XR #6's.

Both tubes will travel with me in the turkey fields...
