I no I am a idoit *CAUGH*! lol
Most recently I have been shooting 3 inch Kent Fasteel 1 1/4 oz. #2's. Last Season I was shooting Federal Premium Ultra-Shok 1 1/8oz #3's with the same results. I have cleaned the gun regularly thinking that could be the problem, but I was confused with the "come mud, rain or whatever a Benelli will still shoot" theory when I purchased it. I am a gun novice, but was told that Benelli is the cream of the crop, thus the dissapointment.
As far as lubed I have been reading more and more about it. I have just used the oil that came with the gun and wiped everything down with that after I cleaned it. I am thinking about getting the recoil supressor removed to see if that helps. Any other suggestion would be greatly appreciated...
