truckcop Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Every gun is different. Is your gun new? Has it been fired a lot? New guns tend not to like lighter loads until it has been shot a couple of hundred rounds with heavier loads. First, make sure the gun has been "broken in". Shoot a few boxes of heavy field loads or even full power pheasant or goose loads. Then try out different brands and different loads of the lighter field stuff and use the one that works most consistently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheetah Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I use Remington heavy dove loads and never had a problem. I have less than 10 boxes through the gun. Never a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckwacker Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 An ounce and an eighth until the gun has at least a hundred rounds through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benelligunny Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Yup, all the above is good. Keep it well oiled also especially if it's a newer gun, but even with an older one. Dry action, no oily, no worky. No matter how heavy the load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
