Shell Sizes for 7 Round Capacity?

[kronik]

I just purchased a Carriercomp tube (awesome work, btw Kip) and found that I cannot fit 7 Rio Royal Buck shells in it. I can, however, fit 7 general purpose target Federal shells in it.

 

What buckshot shells do you recommend with for a 7 round capacity that the Benelli has no problem cycling?

I had the same problem with the rios. I use Federal OO buckshot and they fit fine. Or Winchester buck. Watch out for the Winchester slugs though, they have the same problem, they're a hair longer and you can't fit that last round in.

I had the same problem with federal tactical buck. I clipped a few coils off the spring and they fit. If you don't want to cut coils. . . .fiocci actually makes some pretty darn good buckshot and its super affordable too. . .now i run like four rounds of federal mixed with three rounds of fiocci and they all fit. I also found that for at home. . .loading six in the tube and floating one on the carrier is plenty adequate. Also i figured it couldn't hurt to have an extra spring. . .so i ordered an extra spring from carriercomp and you will have no problem fitting seven in the tube if you just mix a few of those fiocci rounds in there

This reminds me...why do they call em 2.75" shells when they're more like 2.25" long?

Why is it a 2 by 4 when it's actually 1.5" by 3.5"?

Still begs the question.
