Shotgun Ammo

Post by C-MAC »

Finally took the plunge and spent the dough on a Benelli M4 Super 90. Any suggestions on 00 ammo?

I received a few suggestions the Federal Xm127 (9 pellet) had some pretty consistent groupings. But just wanted to hear some additional thoughts.

Thanks.

I'm no ammo guru by any means compared to some of the serious shooters we have around here, but I can say that if you're into any specialty ammunition ie: beanbags/rubber/less lethal rounds, stay away from trusting them in a semi-auto shotgun. Not enough juice to cycle the bolt. Any 12GA less lethal rounds should be used in a pump gun only.

I shoot this stuff:

It makes lots of holes. I've recently shot a couple 2 and 3 gun matches. I use whatever the cheapest 7 1/2 shot is I can find.

Repeal the 16th, enforce the 10th.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Yeah, I won't be cycling any less-lethal rounds. As fun as that sounds. And that Fiocchi looks awesome. Gonna order some.
