Title: Need Help With Benelli M2
Post by: bodycount on March 11, 2011, 11:27:23 AM
Guy,s I just picked up a Benelli M2 and I,m just getting it set up. I was thinking of putting a PG .570 choke in it and shootting  #6 Hev Shot. Any one hear on this sit using the same set up?

Thanks Kevin

Yes I use the M2 and absolutely love it, but mine shoots Nitro 7s and H13 7s through a Indian Creek 555. The Nitros shoot 180 to 225 and the h13s 150 to 180 and I have got as high as 209 with them at a measured 40 yards.

Thanks Hookedspur.
I live in Ontario Canada and we can,t use #7 here so thats why I,m going to try H13 #6.

Thanks Kevin

I have shot the 6's through my wifes M2 and the Rhino .675 and get around 120 in a 10" at 40 yds.  She killed one last year with them at 54 yds. no problem.  Her M2 with the rhino likes the Nitro 4x5x7's quite a bit better though.

I shot the 6s before they came out with the 7s and the 6s shot very well.

IC .555 and Winchester extended range #5's works great out of our M2. Will try some 6's when I find some local.

Had good luck around the 560 to 565 rang with them.  They should give 160 to 170 with the hV-13 7's.

He lives in Canada so the 7's are out.  Like some states, they have minimum shot size requirements.

Have not got to try the Heavy Federal at 40.  Now they put up better numbers at the 30 mark the the HV-13
