Following advice here as to breaking in the gun I started out easy today with 35 rounds of Win. Super X 3 3/4 Dr. # 4. No problems.
Then tried Federal Tactical LE ( which I considered, and in fact was, low recoil )
I expected cycling problems, but 40 rounds of 00 and # 4 buck shot fine as did 10 slugs.
Then tried 15 Speer Lawman 00 which would not work at all, in some cases not even cycling the action, in others hanging in the ejection port. This surprised me, since it`s sold as LE ammo.
5 rounds of the new Green Box Estate ( Amoka. MN. Mfr. ) High Velocity Rifled Slugs 1610 FPS didn`t work either, not cycling and hanging in the ejection port.
Brown Box Estate ( Amoka. MN. ) 3 1/4 Dram # 6 ( low Brass ) also didn`t work at all.
Closed with 10 Remington 3 3/4 Dr. #4, no problem.
I thought this might be of some small interest, especially to those that think the Federal and Speer LE ammo are the same.
