alisske Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I have run a lot of rough stuff through my M4 (probably remington buckhammers as one of the worst recoil) but I was interested in running some dixie triballs through it. Has anyone shot them in an M4? Do you think I will not damage shotgun? I am not worried about the barrel etc..., but rather the gas system. I am not a worry wart, but figured the opinions here are free, so why not do a little premptive homework before dropping money on these monsters. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggan Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I've never personally used them, but member "Caligvla" loved them when he had his m4, and I remember there being an epic battle between him and Dixie over his calling them "very hot loads". I refer you to this thread, which should answer all your questions. http://www.benelliusa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16149&highlight=dixie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisske Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 Duggan, Gracias! Yes, all answered. Triballs ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisske Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 I always read threads and always want to hear the post questions follow up, so hear it is. Dixie Triballs + M4 = FUN!!! The recoil was a non issue, maybe a little more than buckhammers. Just FYI, htye are destructive as ****. As an aside, they cycled great, even with a mixed ammo set up. (e.g. buckshot, slug, dixie triball, buckshot in the mag tube) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggan Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Glad to hear it! I've been meaning to get some ... perhaps soon ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisske Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 The one thing I wanted to add to the thread, is that these things richochet like a mother. we were shooting in a sand pit, and normally, i dont see slugs "skip" (but I do every once in a while) But with the triballs, they would skip, hit the sand berm, then go flying out of the pit. No biggie, but I just figured I would add a cuationary ending to this mediocre tale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
