FLRon Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Greetings from a new member. I am about to purchase my first Benelli shotgun (M4) in the next day or so. I have read that these shotguns are not overly picky as to what sort of shells you run through them. - That said, is there a preference for 2 3/4" or 3"? - What ammo manufacturer could be recommended for cheap but decent range shells for practice? Thanks in advance for your thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler&kochp2000 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 First 1. LUBE IT WELL 2. HIGH DRAM EQ shot shells to break it in around 100-200 rounds maybe less . Then you should be able to use any thing you like. Any part that makes contact with metal to metal that moves when firing your M4, Lube it! except the gas pistons the bolt carrier slide rail is the main one.

FLRon Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 Do you recommend just a lube such as CLP or do you think you can mix a bit of TW-25B on the high friction spots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeoAtrox Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Welcome aboard Ron. I have an M4 (as do many in this forum) and haven't noticed any semblance of "pickiness" from it. As others have suggested, lube it well and break it in with some high-power shells, and you should be good-to-go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
