tdaniel377 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 The Federal Magshok will work in your gun as long as the shell is a 2 3/4" or a 3",your gun will only accept those two shell lengths,not the 3 1/2" shells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Gauge Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Remember...there are no stupid questions Can a M2 take this shell? What's the difference between a magnum and standard shotshell? Payload only? gc, magnum loads will usually have a greater payload but the real difference in a magnum load vs a field or target load is the powder type and charge. different powders have different burn rates and to increase velocity or to create a magnum load a change in powder is typically what manufactures and reloads do....it isn't simply adding more shot (payload). yes, Federal MagShok Flitecontrol shells will work in a M2....like td said just keep them 3" or 2-3/4"!

gcarter Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 Thanks guys. Of course I would keep it to 2 3/4 or 3" shells. I guess my question about the gun handling a magnum load comes from there not being something stamped into the barrel along with the shell length denoting that a magnum shell is acceptable. The tutorial about magnum vs field loads was also informative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
