Title: Benelli M1 12ga+ SSX+hevi #7's?
Post by: darron on February 10, 2012, 06:13:50 PM
I have a benelli M1 12ga with a truglo SSX on it. Thinking about running some hevi-13 #7's through it. Would this be a good combo?

anyone think this combo will work? Just ordered some 3" H13 #7's to run through it once the weather warms.

A guy on here last season posted some pics of his patterns using hevi's thru a SSX and a mossberg 535 and the patterns were great.  Not sure if he was using 7's or not.  Wouldn't hurt to try them.

I'd guess that the odds are pretty good.   ;)

I've shot the 3 inch Hevi-13 #7's thru my  Benelli M1/SSX .643 choke combo and consistently get 200-250 pellets in the 40 yard 10 inch circle.

Yes. I think you'll see some excellent patterns with that combo. I would recommend that you "deep clean" everything prior to your patterning session however.

Thanks,

Thanks for the info. I look forward to touching a few off once it warms up a little. The barrel is deep cleaned.
