jimmcc Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Benny, Any updates or pictures of your new creation? I'm still interested in taking a look at an open 930. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffWard Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 What slugs are you guys finding the best results with in the 930s? I'm looking for a reliable accurate low-recoil slug. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninemmbill Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 The Federal Low-Recoil slugs work best out of my 930. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkoenig Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 All I've tried so far were some 3" Magnum Remington slugs that I happened to have on hand. Way overkill for competition and they rocked me back pretty hard, but it was shooting cloverleafs at 25 yards with the IC choke. I need to try some reduced recoil slugs and see if I can get as good of results as with the full power ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 are the 24 inch non ported suppose to come as complete guns or just as barrels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckofagator Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 are the 24 inch non ported suppose to come as complete guns or just as barrels From what I understand, these have to be ordered from Mossberg as a special order. If you find one on a complete gun, LMK, cause I'd be interested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuke8401 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 My 930 and slugs, 24" barrel, IC choke. Remington slugger; OUCH - maybe 6" group at 50 yds. Most likely flinching. Rem reduced recoil; soft - Maybe 4" group at 50 yds. Federal low recoil, just a step up in recoil from REM reduced; almost a clover leaf at 50 yds. Tried these at 100 yds; maybe a 6" group. Sticking with Federal. I need to test more when I get a light modified choke. David E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swandme Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Believe it or not My Buddy Jeff, the self proclaimed TiteWad Started to cast his own Slugs and I laughed at first and now thats all I shoot. It is a Lee Mold loaded in a standard Hull. I have tested them even in my Saiga and 1100 Tac and the Benelli they were the best accuracy of what I have tried Fed Tru Ball, Rem, Win and Briley . Give it some thought and less than half the price. SwandME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked on Lee's website. They use standard wads, and an normal press, with a star crimp. At a buck a pop, it might be worth doing it. I still have lead pots and a bunch of wheel weights from years and years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a caster,,, and cast the 525 Lyman slug,,, they shot just fine,, if you know your going to shoot alot of slugs,, it is worth the $$$ a 12 Ga lee shell press in the $50 range,,, and $100 ish for a lead pot and the Lyman mold,,, you can make your $$ back,, I have tried the Lee 12 Slug,,, but my gun does NOT,,, like them,,, use a win shot wad,, and Herco, ??? 23 or 24 GR,,, If I remember,,, I cast them and load them by the hundred,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swandme Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) I got the recipe He uses the Rem Gun Club Hulls so they are easier to keep away from the shot shells. 1oz Lee Slug Mold 24 Grains Universal Clays Clay-buster 1100-12 Std 1 oz wad Standard Star Crimp Pure Lead no additives 1440 FPS from a 30 in 870 pump I have not chronyed them from my 1100 Tac or Saiga I load all my Shot Shells on a Dillon 900 SL and It would be inconvenient to load slugs on there He uses a Mec Junior I was a sceptic at first and your milage may vary but they work well for us.

swandme Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I ordered my first 930 Waterfoul today w/ 28 bbl I have read every post I could find and looks like I will cut the bbl @ 24 and do the chokes and a little polish and smoothing inside. and open up the loading port. Still need advice on the Follower manipulation please share you pros and cons. Also I talked to the CS @ Mossberg and they have the Turkey Gun adjustable rear sights available for under 15.00 that snap on the rib. Any thoughts between that and a Ruger 10/22 Rear sight Dovetailed into the Rib. Thanks in advance for your help. SWandME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoked4AA Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Edna is great to deal with. Be sure to ask for her. If you are ordering a turkey barrel without ports don't bother talking with anyone else. I am way stoked to have a factory 24" non-ported barrel. 180.00 including shipping took 3 weeks. My 930 was a 28" waterfowl model, now I have a backup 28" ported barrel for whenever I want to shoot clays with buddies or if I ever wanted to go open.

Red_SC Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Is there any expected time frame for the new 930 with the Benny mods? I need a shotgun in the worst way, and it would be nice to know if this was going to be an option anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Is there any expected time frame for the new 930 with the Benny mods? I need a shotgun in the worst way, and it would be nice to know if this was going to be an option anytime soon. I spoke to Edna yesterday morning when I ordered my barrel. She said she didn't have any info on the release of the competition version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny hill Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 The 930's are starting to leave the shop this week. Some of the options are hi-viz comp. front sight, nordic tube, otto side saddle, replace thumb safty with raised steel one & lightened, trigger job at about 2 3/4 lb. with over traver screw, open up receiver on bottom & cut it foward to the lifter, cut & bevel the forearm & new comp. follower. These new followers are the berries. All barrels are tuned for slug impact@ 40yds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
