 I'm thinking of making my Benelli M1 w 26" barrel my next turkey gun.......I have already ordered a fastfire for it and am looking for some sound advice in chokes and loads to start with......leaning toward trying #7's if I can get over my fear of that small of shot......also thinking of a Jellyhead for it but was wondering what constriction or other choke would be better,I know all this changes from gun to gun and isn't constant but I just wanted a starting point.......my gunsmith is also going to lengthen the forcing cone and polish the barrel.....let me know your thoughts.

With the Hevi #7's, I'd go with the Jellyhead .655 or a Kicks .655.  I shoot that combo in both of my Benellis with devastating patterns.

Mine really likes Hevi-13 1-5/8 #6 with a Titewad choke as well as a TruGlo SSX and the same load.

I have saw them shoot good with winchester HTL extended rang. Sumtoy 648 kicks 645. This has been shot with me looking at it.  Now folks say IC and PG work good just can not say. If I see it I say it works.

FWIW, my 26" barrel Nova patterned better with a HS Undertaker than the JH with 3.5" MagBlends and straight 7s. Pretty impressive choke for >$20...

especially since your good buddy gave it to you :toothy12:



i've seen this first hand. the undertaker choke has been very impressive in his gun. throws awesome patterns with hevi 7's!

Ricky,
If the JH that you just got from me doesn't work, I'll send you the UT to try out. The JH did have a better spread 20" pattern, but the UT was tighter in 10".

Good Deal,I'm not looking to get a super tight pattern at 40 but even coverage is more important to me......I'll let you know when I get it.....I will start patterning with H13-7's and maybe some federal HTL Loads.
