New to the board!!!  Just purchased a new Benelli m2 and was looking for suggestions on choke and ammo..Gun has 26" barrel.  Thanks in advance for the help!!

Start with an Indian Creek choke and Hevi 13"s #7. Thats what I shoot in mine. Good luck.

I have thrown a lot of $$ at my M2 for turkey hunting.  Mine shoots about 1 foot high no matter what choke/shell combo you use.  Hopefully yours shoots to POA or else youll need to invest in some sights.

It's a great gun and I would go with Hevi 6s or 7s and an IC choke

The Hevi-13 turkey chokes are shooting very good patterns with those Benelli barrels and 3" Hevi-13 "Bronze" shells with 2 oz. of #6 or #7 shot.

I've given all the models a good work out with those shells and they are doing very well. Folks who've used them this year in the turkey woods have also reported great results.

Even though your gun is brand new, I'd really recommend that you "deep clean" it before taking it to the range.

Thanks,

That gun will like to be around a 648 to 650 to put big numbers. 665 to a 670 good hunting pattern.

no way to know that without getting a mic in the bore...with factory specs +/- .005 you gotta mic it to know what the choke is really doing...

My M2 with a JH and 3" 2oz 6's produced 176 at 40 yards in 10" I can't remember the constriction on the Jelly head though.

Remington 870 SPS-T Super Mag .660 JH Nitro 2-1/4 oz. Straight 7's Burris FastFire II

I am pretty sure JH are 665 for Benelli/beretta threads.

I just went to the range today with my 21" M2. Have tried the Kicks .655 and Carlson .665 with Hevi Mag Blend. No Good! Today I tried my new purchase Hevi 13 choke with Mag Blend. Not perfect but much better. 175 in 10" @ 40.
Expensive research but I am definitely not complaining. The Hevi also shoots the Winchester #6 well.
