I am an avid waterfowler and big game hunter. I presently own a Beretta Model A.302 (semi-auto 12 gauge) and I'm experiencing load weight restrictions... any loads smaller than 1 3/8 onces don't produce enough energy to eject the shell and chamber the next.

I want a new gun. One that will shoot any size loads without restrictions and without having to previously modify the firearm in order for it to perform properly.

The Benelli Super Black Eagle II caught my eye with the 3.5" chamber, the Inertia Driven System and the light recoil.

Any comments and/or suggestions?
 
The SBE II is an awsome gun. It took me a couple of trips to the range to get used to it's features, but learned fast. This is an Inertia Driven action and can have problems cycling anything smaller than 1.1/8 oz. once properly broken in, it will cycle less with proper lubing. If you don't want to worry about load size, get a gas gun. However, cleaning this baby is simple and sweet and is most likely the cleanest operating shotgun out there. This is a kick ass gun.:D

I love mine and wouldn't trade it for any other. :cheers:
 
I love mine. I broke it in with some 3.5"s And its worked flawless with 2-3/4" trap loads even. The only time I seen it not eject is when a guy at the club tried 3 very light 7/8oz loads, 2 of the 3 still cycled fine.
 
I am looking to buy new and from what I've recently read/learned about the SBEII, I think I will pay the big bucks to get this well overpriced firearm.
After reading your reply, are you telling me I should only cycle 3.5'' shells to break it in? When will I know the gun is properly broken in? How many rounds should I cycle through it before changing shot size?

Thanks for the reply, btw.
 
Shoot 3" shells to break a gun in, no sense wasting good $ on expensive 3.5" ammo for breaking in a gun. Shoot a few hundred 1 1/8 oz loads at the range or trap shootin with your pals in a field. Bet that breaks her in.
 
I followed the instructions in the owner's manual and disassembled firearm, thoroughly cleaned, relubed my new Cordoba and shot about 6 boxes of heavy field loads through it. (i used 3" loads with #4). Smooth as silk now. I remember the manual being purposefully ambiguous as to what "heavy field loads" were though.

I wouldn't recommend using trap loads to break it in because it may not compress the springs fully enough to "break it in".

My opinion.
