Benelli M2 with XXXL load
Shot my first few rounds with the 3XL 1 7/8 load. This was with an IC .555 at 40 yards. I would love to open it up a bit to a 300/275 split. What choke would y'all recommend ?

That's a 349/225 pattern in case you can't see the writing.

Wish I had your problem!!!!!
Re: Benelli M2 with XXXL load
That's about what mine shoots also, I shoot the 1 5/8 now, didn't like the recoil and I didn't need 340 in the 10. A 562 is about what would get you there I think. Nice pattern.

I have a .562 and will try it tomorrow but it has stunk with every load I have tried with it.

Re: Benelli M2 with XXXL load
Go back to the Big 20xl and a 585 choke. 250/250'is already over kill.
Re: Benelli M2 with XXXL load
I got a 300/300 pattern with the .582 Undertaker and something like 340/270 with the .562 IC shooting that load.golfernash wrote:Shot my first few rounds with the 3XL 1 7/8 load.

I agree with JD, the 1 5/8oz load is the bombdiggity, it has plenty of umph to kill way farther than need be and can be choked to meet your needs. My 2 pennies.

Re: Benelli M2 with XXXL load
It looks like I will be using the 1 5/8 load anyway. I cant get these 3 inch hulls to cycle in the M2 no matter what I try. I have trimmed packed and everything else to no avail.

I'm shooting the stubby, which is 1 5/8 in a 2 3/4" shell. No problems with 50+ yard shotsgolfernash wrote:It looks like I will be using the 1 5/8 load anyway. I cant get these 3 inch hulls to cycle in the M2 no matter what I try. I have trimmed packed and everything else to no avail.

Put a 3 incher in the barrel and fill the magazine with 2 3/4 shells. Know several people that do that.golfernash wrote:It looks like I will be using the 1 5/8 load anyway. I cant get these 3 inch hulls to cycle in the M2 no matter what I try. I have trimmed packed and everything else to no avail.

Re: Benelli M2 with XXXL load
I load the big 20xl 3in Fed hulls. Roll crimps won't feed from magazine in my M2. But that load can be fold crimped and it feeds fine

Re: Benelli M2 with XXXL load
Yep, That's the easiest fix, but a little pricey. You'll have a hundred and a half in it by the time you get the Mec loader and the Super Crown crimper.Turkinator wrote:I load the big 20xl 3in Fed hulls.

And when you add a gaep crimp finisher the expense goes up! But it sure makes a pretty shell!Shooter wrote:Yep, That's the easiest fix, but a little pricey.
