Got word from a buddy today after he shot his new Sumtoy 562 in an M2. He broke the 200 mark with Hevi 13 7s and shot a 180 with federal 7 s, and a 120 with federal 6s all out the same choke.
I recall several guys breaking two hundred with Nitro 7s and hand loads, but to my memory this is the first I've heard of a factory load breaking the mark.
Very nice pattern!!! Congrats!!!
I'm all jacked up on Mt Dew and ready to thump one!

I believe 200 is very reachable with a SumToy and H13 7's. I think my gun would push it close if I polished the barrel and shot on a warm day.
Del, its an old Benelli M-1, 26" barrel, all my shots are with a dirty barrel, I really can't rember when I cleaned it last. With Fed HW#7 it got from 151 to 180, with Fed HW#6's it was 121 and hevi13#7's it put 200 in the 10 at a measured 40yds. Thanks William at Sumtoy for a great choke.
Extremely impressive.
Great patterns!
