Ok,

IMHO, I gave up on this little thingy for a regular 12ga shotgun.

I tried it out this weekend and had a terrible time with it...

First, I tried with Mossburg 590. WOW, it can hold something like 10-11 rounds. However, somehow it is harder to extracted than other brand. I need to excerted more pull on the forearm more than other brands. I'm not sure why (may be I need more exercise.)

Second, I tried with Benelli M3. This is the worst ammo for the M3. My M3 usually have no problem with the regular 2.5", and 3.0" shells. But this is somethingelse. On the first try, it double feed the shells and jam the action. I guess that it is a timing issue on the feeding mechanism. I also had problem with extracting. It got stove-pipe on all the round. It seems that the bolt may be short stroke on them.

Does anyone has better luck than me?

I've tried them in my little EAA double, figuring they'd be a perfect match. I can't hit anything except a small barn at 25 yards. No extraction issues, though.

The short 7-1/2 loads are a different story. Nice pattern at 7 through 25 yards and right on POA.

Neither load will even cycle through my 870.
