  1. The 870 will work just fine. I've seen plenty of pumps run just as fast or even faster than semis.

    The versa max, 930, M3000, or 1301 are all good "step ups".

    You could jump up to an M2 if you want its never a bad choice.

  2. I finally got around to making a few modifications. The most notable is a slight opening of the loading port. It's not much but is noticeably better than stock. I may open it more after I get more practice loading. I also shortened the stock .500", added the oversized bolt release, and smoothed out the mag tube.

    Yeah that looks great!

  3. I shoot the Wally World stuff - either the Federal or Winchester bulk packs depending on what's in stock. Usually 7 1/2 or 8, 2 3/4", 3 dram. They all run great in my M2 and I've never had a problem. On the other hand, my friend shooting his 930 has trouble with the bulk stuff cycling the action. So I think it depends on the gun. Buy it - test it. The same is true for Royal Star low-recoil 2 3/4" slugs - run great and are accurate in my M2, but won't cycle his 930.

    The Federal bulk stuff runs great for me but how do you tell what the shot is made from? I read that some clubs check for steel shot and I can't find documentation on the packaging to say what the cheep stuff shoots.

    I think it has to do with hunting loads. Cheap stuff should use lead.

  4. Fi you can get the 12th shell in half way you can cut about 4-5 coils and get the rest. It maybe tight. Try cutting one coil at a time until it fits. Don't go below 12-14" of spring sticking out of the end of the tube.

    Thanks, Jesse. I'll give it a try.

    Oh now that I can post pictures... A69E2DF9-8C10-47CD-AD07-D19E93471F52-213

    Here's the light port opening I did too it. I didn't get too aggressive with it. 700B29AD-8484-4457-82A2-98ECC21A0056-6568F682E04-8613-4A06-B687-577FCED82977-656

    that looks good! I may be willing to do that much.
