New M2 owner

[PKelly]

I received a Bennili M2 for Christmas. Although I own a handgun this is my first shotgun. I was told I will need buck shot or slug to shoot it in the indoor range to learn to shoot it. Will this be ok to use with the M2?

Birdshot, buckshot and slugs...its all good! Although slugs can only be shot through modified choke and upwords (3 notches and higher). That is my understanding anyway

Actually, the Benelli website says:

"A cylinder choke is recommended for shooting rifled slugs in a smooth-bore barrel."

 

Kinda paranoid... ain't they?

 

My M2s prefer a modified choke with Remington HV and Brenneke BM slugs. While experimenting with slugs and chokes... I find that with cylinder choke my groups open up to near double that of a modified.

 

Happy New Year!
