kronik Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 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?

Super33 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinman1975 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) 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 Edited October 27, 2010 by tinman1975 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AggiePhil Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 This reminds me...why do they call em 2.75" shells when they're more like 2.25" long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super33 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Why is it a 2 by 4 when it's actually 1.5" by 3.5"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AggiePhil Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Still begs the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
