What would be a good choke and ammo combo for a Benelli M2?

Thanks

The M2 barrels have the same geometry as the M1 and other Benelli barrels. If yours is a 12 gauge, I'd recommend the Wright's #3 or the SSX "Crio" choke with your choice of shot size in the Hevi-13 shotshells.

Thanks,
Clark

I would try a .640 to .655 for Hevi 7s  and for Hevi 6s or Win. Xtended Range try a .655 to .665 diameter
If trying the Federal with flight control shells in Heavyweight I would only try the #7s.  Just no enough pellets in the 6's.  Federal recommend a non ported tube, but some here have used ported and had good results too.
These were the findings in my SBE2.  Hope my advice saves you some cash.

Had one go 202 with 6's and 226 with the mag blend.  It had a 650 in it.    You have a few chokes to pick from with that gun.

After trying several types of chokes for my m2, I called Clark on here and he sent me a SSX choke.  Very satisfied with this choke and hevi 13 3-2-6 or magblend.
Thanks, David
