shotgunNoob Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) Personally, I plan on putting roughly 150 rounds or so per year through my SuperNova tactical. Im just curious how many YOU put through your shotty per year. Also, Im wondering just how long these Benelli shotguns are supposed to last. It seems that, in terms of handguns, longevity is measured in terms of thousands of rounds...usually ten-thousand or more. I wonder how shotguns are measured. Thoughts? BTW- Dont feel obligated to attempt an answer the "longevity" question if you have no idea. I would still love to hear what kind of numbers, in terms of rounds, people here are putting through their shotgun on a yearly basis!

Duggan Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I have 11k rounds, more now actually, through my m4. It still shoots like the day I got it, as far as I can tell. I hardly get to shoot it now, between ****** weather, NY temperatures, full time school and full time work. I put probably 1000 rounds through it over this summer, now I haven't shot it in months.

Banjo MD Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I "guestimate" 10-12k shells through my SS this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody6.0 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 My SuperNova is only 7 months old and I allready have 2,000 rounds of game/target loads and another 200 rounds of buck and slugs through it. I clean the barrel after a few boxes and do a full clean/lube after 200 rounds or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNSC_WARRIOR Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I don't shoot a lot during winter (it's not realy fun to shoot at -20 F) but since april, I've easily put 1000 rounds through my SuperNova. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novaking Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 about 2000 a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotgunNoob Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 I guess that answers my question about Benelli reliability. I am curious to see how many thousands of rounds my SN tactical can actually take before "major" service is needed. Of course, with only 150 to 200 rounds per year, it would probably take me a lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose2 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Although they are mechanical and things do break, I have friends that have the SBE I that have put several thousand rounds through there's in the harshest of conditions. It seems that the more you shoot them the better they get. Yes Hogwild, these are the guys that run them dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamlau Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I only practice with what intend to shoot, basically Hornady and Federal 00 copper. The higher cost of those rounds limit me to about a hundred shells fired in a year. Not much, but I already know how my M4 is sighted and how the ammo I shoot patterns at various distances.
