Thanks, guys. I didn't have a chance to shoot the new Benelli before the match, so it got broken in on the course. I left home with nothing but the IC choke by accident, but it was all I needed. I found some 1 1/8 oz #8 heavy dove loads, 100 rounds for $15 which is what I've been paying for light target loads for skeet. The heavier loads functioned flawlessly and never failed to drop a plate or popper. We had one stage that required 6 slugs to be shot at cardboard targets, then birdshot for a whole bunch of clays and plates, so changing chokes was not an option. The gun ran 100%, one of the only ones in my squad that had 0 problems. Even the guys with pumps were having problems, but I think some were caused by getting in a hurry and short-stroking them. I was very happy with the way the gun handled and the way I shot with it, thoug I don't know where my scores were with everyone else. I don't care, I had a great time! My only complaint is the 5-shot capacity, and when I bought it thought I could easily get a bigger tube for it, but apparantly Benelli is way behing sending accessories to distributors. Does anyone know where I can get a Benelli extension?
