mcthacker Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Looking for opinions from people who have shot low recoil Winchester Ranger 00 buck and slugs with their M2 Tactical. My gun is broken in. Shoots anything I've put in it so far. Found a deal on ammo but don't want to buy in bulk if enough people tell me they have had cycling problems. Thanks for help. Don't want to debate why to use low recoil just if it shoots ok. Appreciate the feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sukhoi_fan Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Don't have a M2 so I can't give you any feedback. However I would think that if your M2 reliably cycles low brass bird shot then the low recoil buckshot won't be a problem. (check the numbers, the velocity isn't reduced substantially) Where'd you find the low recoil Winchester buckshot in bulk? All the sources I kept track of are out of Winchester low recoil.

Blueinterceptor Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I have used Federal and Winchester ranger low recoil loads, both slugs and buckshot and have never had a problem. I have 2 m2's. Never a misfeed or failure to function. Probably 500 rounds in total. I use the slugs for deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDR_Glock Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I haven't entirely broken mine in. It did not like Fiocchi Low Recoil 00 2 3/4" shells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDA1 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I haven't entirely broken mine in. It did not like Fiocchi Low Recoil 00 2 3/4" shells. And I was able to cycle Fiocchi Low Recoil 00 2 3/4" shells in my M4 during the first 25 rounds, so were two of my friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDR_Glock Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Mine is an M2 not an M4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDA1 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Mine is an M2 not an M4. Sorry about that, I had M4 on the brain and overlooked the M2 Tactical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckcop Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 In my experience, it's difficult to predict what a particular shotgun will do based on the experience of others. If you do a search on this forum you'll find varying experiences using a particular type of ammo in a particular type of shotgun. Just like differences in patterning between individual guns of the same make/model, operational reliability with particular ammunition is an individual trait as well. The best advise; buy a couple of boxes of the ammo and see how it works (or doesn't) in your gun. If it's GTG, then buy a bunch of it.
