What does everyone think is the best all around choke for a M2 24" with good patterns for all distance using tss9? The reason I'm asking is a .555 and .562 look good at 35 and 40 yards but in closer like 20 or less there is no wiggle room for mistakes and I know don't make a mistake but stuff happens.
I have a .565 jebs it shot really well but I'm currently using a sumtoy.562. It's tight at 20 but I love it.
Put a red dot on and avoid mistakes:) 20 yards with tss works like a guillotine
Not a big difference between .555 and .575 @ 15 yards.
Thanks for the responses so far all help is appreciated
570 all around now for a hot pattern 562

i love my .562 awesome job sumtoy.
My M2 likes a .570 from Rob Roberts. Nice dense 20" hunting pattern at 40 yards. It's still pretty tight up close, but not ultra tight. I'm not into numbers, just piling up dead gobblers.
I am a big fan of the PG .555 with a red dot.
I like my sumtoy 562
Sumtoy 562 is doing a great job in my M2. Three long beards this spring , I am enjoying my 20 ga.
What numbers are y'all getting at 40yds with #9s?

Straight full with tss 9
tailwalk enough with my 562 (https://i.imgur.com/xZTpuiT.jpg)
Same ?
I am looking into purchasing an m2 in the next few months 24" barrel only comes in black and customized ones wow they have ported barrels looks like to me that taking some of the power off your shot. The rest is nice just don't see the logic in that. Forcing cone yes
But the 26" barrel would choke be the same as 24" anticipating shooting apex they say federal are too long won't eject at least that's what I heard
Would some of y'all that own an m2 help a brother out all 20 gauge
I went to a 20 ga M2 this year after shooting a M2 12 for several years. I will not go back. I have the 24 inch in black. 3 long beards did not notice the black. That being said it is getting a new Original Bottomlands job right now. I chose the Sumtoy 562 and am very pleased. The Federal TSS 9 s are amazing, absolutely no difference in kill power from my 12ga. Get one for yourself, you will be very happy with it. Just my opinion but the M2 is the best 20 ga.

I have the same set up but shoot hand loads of 9s. Absolutely a killing machine. I hunt the mountains of WV and the weight difference of carrying my 12 gauge was another reason I'd never go back.
I've read on this forum that 3" TSS Federals have trouble cycling in an M2 20 ga BUT that has NOT been the case for me. Mine has flawlessly cycled 40-50 Fed TSS #9 shells without a single hiccup. I have a .562 Sumtoy I use for Fed TSS 9s and an Indian Creek .555 I used with Win LB 6s. There is no comparison between the two combos. Sumtoy and Fed TSS is hands down the best performer. I range between 275-300 hits in the 10" at a measured 40 yds. That kind of performance in a 5.4 pound shotgun is tough to beat. I've owned over 50 dedicated turkey guns and still have around 20 in my safe. This M2 20 ga w/ 26" barrel, Sumtoy 562 and Fed TSS 9s is my favorite gun/choke/shell combo that I've ever carried in the field for spring turkey hunting.
I'd recommend it to anyone.
