My 1301T gobbles up 8-pellet Reduced Recoil 00 Flite Control with the same speed and intensity as Rosie O'Donnell mowing down a Chinese buffet.
I have never seen it fail to function with that load.
I suppose this begs a question: how much is enough vetting for a semi auto shotgun?
My first outing I put an uncomfortable amount of money downrange with Flitecontrol buck. I also worked out a “deal” for 150 rounds of LE133 to augment what I had at home, but that was $2/round (I’m pretty sure the last time I bought it I paid about .80/rd). I had no issues, but in the current climate I don’t know that I’m super comfortable burning more LE133 - I want a stash for rotation and class use, and I don’t know how easy it’ll be to replace what I have. Is it enough to run similarly-powered birdshot after an initial batch of my HD buck?
This thread is weakening my resolve that I don't need this shotgun...
Thanks for nothing, fellas.
There's nothing civil about this war.
I don't have a huge round count, maybe 500-ish, but mine runs anything I stick in it. I have run birdshot, reduced recoil and full power slugs, and reduced recoil (including LE133), standard and magnum buckshot. The 1301T is the best shotgun I have ever owned and has replaced my 870P for my shotgun defensive needs.
