SubSolar Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I just got a new M4 and was playing around with it. I found out that with my birdshot shells, I can hold 5 in the tube. But the new Federal Tactical 00 I bought only hold 4. Are all 00 shells longer than birdshot shells? If there aren't any 2 3/4" 00 that can hold 5, should I just load four 3" 00 shells? If the 2 3/4" and 3" are the same capacity in the M4, shouldn't I get the extra power and pellets of the 3 incher? Sorry if these are newbie questions.

SubSolar Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 According to this link, the Hornady's are shorter. I think I will try some of these. http://www.benelliusa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16155&highlight=hornady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
