I have run across advertisements for economical 1 3/4, and 2 in 12 gauge shotgun shells on the Internet occasionally.
In Europe where they have huge drive shoots it is not uncommon for a Shooter with one or even two gun bearers to shoot a thousand rounds during one of the events. Some of the shoots are for more than one day or over from one location to another thee next day.
I wondered how they could take the pounding of doubles and over and unders with even 2 3/4s like that .
Well they make a lot of shoguns chambered for these mini shells and even very light high dollar doubles and over unders.
I went looking for some of these shells today. Five, of the 1 3/4 shells for 11.99. About 60.00 a box for what can be bought for four on the Internet.
I passed.
The Asst Mgr said the could indeed be fired in the Remington 870 but the Mosseberg required an adapter for the shell lifter.
If they would work in my S&W M&P with nine round 3inch magazine, that would be sixteen shells.
I don't remember the number of buck or number seven or weight of charge. I should have brought pen and paper.
What I would use them for is skeet, in the 870 maybe, and for over unders for wife and myself later.
Anyone tried these shells in the pump shotguns or doubles and over unders with 2 3/4 or 3 in chambers?
