    DA Slugs in a Benelli M4

    Anyone know if these low recoil slugs cycle well in an M4?

    Maybe 15 target loads through before camping dog ran off last weekend.. shooting cut short, and had some hiccups cycling. Might need a break in i thought?

    Canpar brings me these dominion buck and slugs. look cool. like that they are clear.

    Slugs first. Modified choke. 20Yard 5 shot group the size of a basketball.
    out of a box of 25 only ONE time did it cycle. rest were FTE and stovepipes.

    Buckshot next. Long rounds. can only get FOUR in the tube...
    Cycled flawlessly. EVERY TIME!!!! super rapid firing. love it.

    That's my story.

    unfortunately my benelli M4 won't cycle the slug shell, none of shell can cycle, every shot i have pull the bolt to open the chamber to eject the case.

    i bought about 30 boxes of 25.
    just worried about how i can shoot them all by pulling the bolt each shot.
    does anyone has the same situation with semi auto shotgun?

    seems very weird.
    Hope these previous posts help with your question
    Anyone doing any Long-Range, Pistol, or Action-Shooting in or around the Elk Valley/Crowsnest Pass? I'd love to tag along, send me a PM

    Interesting I just sort of assumed that for a couple grand you got reliability with any load.
    Our Government trusts rivets more then law abiding gun owners.

    Weird...
    that must be a very low load. Mine loves the S&B low recoil (both slugs and buckshots) and has cycled target loads without any issues

    Had trouble awhile back with some L/E low recoil (Ranger??) slugs cycling in my M4.

    The Benelli M4 needs a few 100 of "high brass" loads to break it in. That and proper oiling you will have it running well with ALMOST anything. Keep it mind tho it is a high end combat shot gun and birdshot and low recoiling buck/slugs are NOT what it was designed to fire!!!

    I hope your taking the choke tube out when your firing slugs.

    Why would you do that? Not necessary at all.
