Title: M2 Finally dialed in
Post by: golfernash on March 07, 2022, 08:39:21 PM
Just finished fine tuning my M2. Running a .570 Sumtoy with a 1.75 oz load of #9's. The 40 yard pattern in slightly worse than normal as the barrrl was pretty dirty on this shot. Consistently putting up beautiful 290/240 type patterns.I also shot it at 25 verify my red dot zero as well as checking the pattern size at close range.

That is about as good of a pattern as one could ever hope for, especially with how consistent it is between the 10 and the 20. Proud for you as you are more than good to go from here on out.

I been thinking about running the same load through mine. That pattern looks really good!!!

The M2 I have seems a bit finicky. It hasnt shot a good 1 5/8oz pattern. Been through about 7 chokes and a couple different hand loads. Im in the works of trying a new barrel at the moment.

I shot a 1 7/16 load and will out shoot 90% of peoples 1  5/8..such a waste and way more simpler to load.

Ran a IC555 for long time but I'm now with a sumtoy 562 and it will stay that way

I havent tried the 1 7/16 oz load yet but I do have the data. Not sure that I have the components. Ill have to look.

I shot the 1 1/4 oz load and was a little sparse with an IC .555.

I also have data for a 1 1/2 oz load.

Using less shot would be great if I can get a good solid pattern out of the gun.
