No, it actually shoots where Benelli says it should!

Please Note: I incorrectly call the patterns in this video 60/40 and 70/30 spreads. The first three patterns are all 80/20 or 90/10 spreads with the 3-1/2" 2-3/8 oz. turkey load being a 50/50 spread. By saying "it shoots where it should", I am saying that in relation to what Benelli says it should do. So, the SBE 3 shoots "high" compared to what most people are used to or expect. It would be nice if Benelli advertised or detailed that in a manual, but it is not outside of their specifications.

Also, I say in the video the choke is a "Hevi-steel" choke tube when it is actually a Hevi-Shot Choke Tube. (I had a few too many things going through my mind for this video, ha ha.)

Here we try four different loads and see what kind of POI vs POA occurs.

Loads used in video are:
1) Rio Game Load 2-3/4", 1-1/8oz, 3-1/4 Dram Equivalent 1280 FPS
2) Hevi-Steel 3", 1-1/4oz, 1500 FPS
3) Hevi-Steel 3-1/2", 1-3/8 oz, 1550FPS
4) Fiocchi Golden Turkey 3-1/2", 2-3/8oz, 1210 FPS
