tried some light loads with the M2

[another okie]

I bought a Benelli M2 about a month ago. Back then I tested it with all the loads I had, from birdshot to slugs, but the lightest loads I had were about 3 dram, 1 ounce loads. At the store the other day I picked up some 7/8 ounce, 2 3/4 dram Remingtons - STS moderated recoil light target loads. I shot the whole box today. They ran fine, though I could hear the difference in the recoil and feel the bolt operating more slowly. And they felt very pleasant to shoot.
