Title: M1 20 Gauge?
Post by: guesswho on March 11, 2016, 07:10:20 PM
A good friend of mine is setting his Benelli M1 20 gauge up for turkey hunting.  He put a Sumtoy 562 choke in it and is shooting Fed HW 7's.  He wanted me to post his pattern here and get some feedback from people with similar set-ups.  He just shot one time because he's putting a Vortex Venom on it and it's not mounted yet.  He stepped of forty then checked with a range finder after the shot and it was 37 1/2 yards.  151 in the ten.  Is this about average for this combo?  He knows it's a 40 yard killer, just wanted to get an idea of what others were getting with this set-up.

I don't have that set up, my opinion is anything north of 150 with a 20 gauge is rock solid.
