I'm heading to Iowa the end of the month for a day of pheasant hunting on a preserve. I have a Benelli SBE II that I've only used for turkey hunting thus far and today I pulled the pistol grip stock, rail and red dot off of it and installed a standard stock in preparation for the trip. My pheasant hunting experience is very limited and it's been years since I went out. Looking for recommendations on what loads and what choke I should be looking at?
The Benelli is a 12ga with 26" barrel. The preserve is a relatively high dollar operation so I'm assuming they do good job of raising the birds without much human interaction so I'm planning for needing to make shots at reasonable distances rather than needing to kick them in the rump to get them airborne.
