So what brand of shells is exceptionally dirty?

 

[Joel]

Gotta love the idea of the lead blowing all over and gunking up the gas system lol

 

[Painkillers]

Great info, but it just serves to make me love my pumps all the more.

I'll never sell my 11-87.
Simple design and reliable.

But gotta agree, most pumps are tough as nails.

Couldn't pay me to use a Turkish pump or semi

This is where inertia systems are superior but each has their downsides.

Challenger buck & slug are disgustingly dirty, compared to the clean Federal

Let's not bring up the pump vs semi auto debate again.

We already know the results.

Oh yeah? Only ever used the inertia so far, and pretty limited at that.

Same. The Turk shotguns I've seen from all manufacturers have been dogsh*t.

For the price of the 1301 etc, even though they look awesome, I'm not really feeling held back by 590s at all.

 

[IvoB]

Love both my Mavericks 88 and Girsan's 312

Inertia can run black powder shells if need be.

 

[Daver_II]

I've owned/own plenty of each.. maintain your guns... that simple.

Gotta say I was a little surprised how much work the pump guns took to get running. Makes me happy I went with the 1301 and double barrel guns though.

Didn't quit on the mail coaches, won't quit on you haha

I'm more worried about ME being left out in those conditions Can't say I've frozen a gun into not working before and I've frozen plenty

Right.
If I ever need the shotgun I leave leaned up against the outhouse, it'll be a magfed AK design.
