Great pics: I'm 68 and never been yet. Invited to join another guy in two days for Merriam's I believe. Will be shooting my old 1100, 3" #2 lead. Where shall I aim?? For the head, right? This gun used to be a long range duck killer with these shells. Fact is, this box is left over from those lead days prior to the steel laws. Thanks for the advice.

George: Get smaller shot. I use #6 normally. However, Hevi-Shot makes a blend of 5's, 6's & 7's that is devastating. Incredible patterns in my gun. Aim right where the neck meets the head. BODY SHOTS RARELY RESULT IN A DEAD BIRD THAT IS RECOVERED. SHOOT THEM IN THE HEAD/NECK. By all means, pattern your gun first. I was shocked this year when I patterned mine with some high dollar specialty shells. Let me put it this way. with a bench rest, at a stationary bird, I would have had a much better chance to kill a bird on the left or the right than the bird I would have been aiming at. | |||

Last year I tried the Federal 3.5" #5 shot with the Flight max shot cup and it was excellent. My first bird didn't move..stoned him. Second tom flopped a little but I shot him with Winchester 3.5" #5's at 40 yards. I do agree with Larry, smaller shot; 5's or 6's. Haven't used the Hevi-Shot as I've had no problems out to 54 yards with standard 3.5" 5's from Winchester or Federal. And for sure pattern your gun. I use a stock Benelli full choke and it shoots a great pattern out to 50+ yards with 3.5" shells.

I shoot an old 1100 (1974) 3" with 5's, put it on his waddles(red) out to 50 yds.Mine will damn near take his head off. CO School of Trades 1976, Gunsmithing | |||

I think that one has to be really careful with these shotguns. There can be big surprises when guns are patterned. I have a Benelli SBE 11. I bought some other chokes for it including a "super full" that was made specifically for turkey hunting. My standard full choke patterned noticeable better than the super full. | |||

I agree Larry.....there's nothing magical about some after-market chokes. The ones that came with my Benelli (and Stoeger for that matter) are just fine. | |||
