foob Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Loading some 2.75" Federal flight control 00 buckshot could only load 4. Pretty typical for you guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolution Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) FC flight control 00 is one of those brands among others that seem to run a touch longer in the overall shell length that can cause issues with loading the seventh round or in your case the 5th round. Some people clip a coil off of the spring or buy another spring like a Wolf. I have found that in loading in my case the seventh round, I push it in until I reach resistance and then still using my thumb, start pumping the shell into the tube until it finally clicks past the shell stop. Funny thing that once the shell gets past the stop, I can push the shell further forward into the mag tube past the stop I'd say about 3/16" of an inch. So there is enough room in there, it just takes a little coaxing with the Federal FC 00. Pretty sure I have a Wolf spring because that is what CarrierComp supplies with their 7 round tubes. I have some Military 00 buck that all seven go in without any finessing needed. Edited September 28, 2021 by Evolution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
