This has been long overdue since I switched from my former M1 to my current M2 back in October. I've used the gun on clays and birds, but have not confirmed it with slugs or buck. Today I remedied that. I fired the following six different loads:

Federal Flitecontrol #1 (old lot, 3 or 4 years ago)
Federal Flitecontrol #1 (new lot, a month or two ago)
Federal Flitecontrol 00 8-pellet
Federal Flitecontrol 00 9-pellet
Federal Truball Deep Penetrator slug
Fiocchi 7/8oz Aero slug, 1300 FPS

The range only allows slugs, but I had "soft" permission to fire the buck loads after I explained they were Flitecontrol from a 21" Benelli. As such, I only fired 1EA of the buck loads and chose to do so at a distance of 15yds.

Old #1:


New #1:


8-pellet:


9-pellet:


Fed slug @ 25yds (hit dead center of the orange aiming sticker):


Fiocchi slug @ 25yds (hit dead center of the orange aiming sticker):


I find the two POI on the Federal slug interesting. Maybe I just don't understand how those slugs work. I finished the session by sketching a rough 3x5 on the target and dumping 3 Fiocchi slugs into it @ 25yds in rapid succession. Needless to say my go-to load is the #1 buck, but good to see that the 8 and 9 pellet loads aren't terribly off either.
