sharkman Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 Hi guys! I just got a barely used M1, marked as HK. Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to improve my M1 cycling with lighter loads? I have been told there are aftermarket products that will help--any suggestions? Thanks! Quote
Drundel Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 surecycle.com but before I did that I would clean it VERY well and use good oil on it, fp-1o or miltec and see if that works. 7/8 is about as low as you can shoot in it. a lot of people can only shoot those after shooting a lot of heavy 3" loads through it.

threeshot Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 Drundel, ...a lot of people can only shoot those after shooting a lot of heavy 3" loads through it. How many rounds do you start to consider a lot? Just trying to gauge what you consider a lot of rounds. Thanks Quote

Drundel Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 threeshot: No clue, I've shot a case or two through mine and not test it out with the 7/8 loads. I'll post up when I do how it works, but I could guess about 100-200 rounds of heavy loads should break it in. Quote
threeshot Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 Thanks Drundel. I am currently working on putting 100 rounds of the Winchester Double X Magnum Turkey loads through my SBEII. I usually put 20 rounds of the 3" and 20 rounds of the 3 1/2" rounds in a shooting session. That's all my shoulder can take in a shooting session. Only one more session and I will have a grand total of 100 rounds (that's counting both the 3" and 3 1/2" shells fired). The reason I am trying to get to 100 rounds is due to the recommendation in the SBEII manual. Of course the manual states to use "standard hunting loads" for the 100 round break-in. Upland04 put two boxes of the magnum loads through to break-in his SBEII. anybody shot your sbe2 Quote
