crofton Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 New M4 owner with a question on ammo, plan on breaking in the weapon with 00 buck for a hundred rounds or so and then wanted to have fun shooting cheap game loads. AmmoToGo has Federal Game Shok Heavy Field 2 3/4" 3 1/4 DRAM EQ 1 1/8oz. #6 Shot Ammo, 250 rounds for $63. Any issues? What is the minimum DRAM one can shoot with the M4? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I have broken them in with 3" goose loads, and I have broken them in with 2.75 DRAM target loads. Lube the BCG/Rails with TW25B and hold it steady and it should cycle darn near anything you want to put in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renault Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I just followed everyone's advice and ran my M4 really lubed up straight out of the box and i was able to break it in on the walmart stuff which is really cheap. Spending the money on 100-200 buckshot rounds is harsh... especially when you live somewhere like California where the ammo is pretty damn expensive... but maybe its expensive everywhere. The point being I live in california and it sucks, but what doesn't suck is keeping your M4 well lubricated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crofton Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 Thanks, when mine arrives I will use my trap loads and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12508 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Keep it well lubed (bolt rails etc.) with the provided benelli oil and you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
