M 1 Super 90

[justroostin]

I have a super 90 and wandering if any other turkey hunters still use one and what chokes and ammo they use to get the best pattern. I have tried the Jelly Head by Primos with different shells and cant get the pattern I want. Any suggestions?

If you have a Jellyhead.. I would buy some of Remingtons Hevi Shot... or some Hevi 13... and run through it. It should pattern preatty good. If not then i dont know what else to tell you other than try nitros... But they are expensive... 117 dollars for a box of 25. Its outragous. I dont have a M1. But my Uncle does and his loves Hevi Shot... Im not sure which choke he has in his. But If I were you i would try Hevi Shot through that jellyhead... and forget about the nitros.. unless you have a high paying sallery.

No Problem. Let me know how they pattern for you. I hope you will be happy with your results.

Good Luck,

Well I tried Hevi shot #5 and Hevi 13 #5 in factory choke and jellyhead and factory choke was best at 40yds. Will shoot the factory choke.Got a wild hair the other day and found a super black eagle worth the money so I bought it and tried some 3.5" to see if it was any difference between them will sell the eagle not enough diff.

Best choke I found for older Benellis (M1 & SBE I) was a Kick's .660 + any fast lead #5's or #6's. Never tested Win XR's, but they should work fine in any .660 choke.

 

HS will need to be shot from a more open choke. You cannot judge HS from a tight choke, nor lead from an open choke.

Try The Old Truglo Strut Stopper Tube. They Don't Make It Anmore, But You Can Still Find It On Ebay And Gunbroker. It Is Model Tg155. Shooting The Old White Shell Hevi 13 #6 In The 1 3/4 Oz Load, I Put Better Than 140 Pellets In A 10 Inch Circle At 40 Yards.
