Title: Benelli M2 Indian Creek BDS .665, longbeard #5 and Mag Blends
Post by: Nate K on April 01, 2016, 11:02:24 AM
Both shots at 40 yards measured. Both 3" shells. 70 degrees and sunny. My jellyhead .660 definitely throws better patterns with the Hevis than the IC but not quite the numbers I got with the IC and longbeards. Longbeard #5's put 188 in the 10 and 38 in the 3. Mag Blends only put up 136.

That LB looks great! In my limited experience with a Nova the MB likes a tighter choke.

My experience with the M2 has been that the Hevis shoot better choked down and the Longbeards shoot better with a little more open choke. I'm going to try a Final Strut .655 this weekend.
