I posted this on the Shotgunworld website as well but I didn't get many answers. I guess they dont shoot a lot of buckshot over there
I shoot a lot of buckshot and I am wondering if anyone else is having this issue. My Benelli Ethos 12 gauge is a great gun!. Its light fast handling and patterns #1 buckshot very well using a Kicks choke. The problem is that the shells in the magazine are subject to recoil and some of them are bulging just above the brass case head. The bulge is severe enough to cause feeding problems. I know the Ethos is light and I know that it's an inertia gun but factory new ammo (purchased a couple of months ago) shot through a quality shotgun shouldn't be deforming like this Pics are of Remington 16 pellet #1 Buck that were number 3 and 4 in the magazine. After firing the first two shots, number 3 caused a FTF. Perhaps other brands are tougher than these Remingtons?
