Thanks for the comments guys. Glen Valour you are correct. I had the slugs in backwards in the stock. I also agree with the comment about flipping the shotgun upside down and being able to dump rounds into the mag tube quicker. I'll try flipping the saddled rounds upside down and see if they stay in place. I played with it in its new configuration tonight trying to get used to it. I must say the recoil is felt much less with the Speedfeed stock. I got the full size stock cause I'm a big guy but you can get them shorter. The pistol grip made a huge difference. I put some ultra powerfull slugs down range tonight and the recoil felt great. Not nearly as punishing as I thought it might be. If only I could find a better forend for it now.
