Hi Guys,

i have a client coming out to RSA wth me on a high volume dove shoot and she is looking to bring a semi auto with her in 20bore. However the shells we have ordered are Eley 24g loads.

Has anyone used this in a Beretta or Benelli gun and do they cycle OK?

Rgds,
K

Glad to report all charged in the east

No problems at all with 24 grams in the guns you have mentioned

Thanks mate,

I can now get the order in with my mind at ease. Total cartridge count for the next 3 weeks of hunting has come in at 27,000 shells!! (and I have an additional 4,500 in stock...).

it should make for some warm barrels!!

Ben,

Yep I'm looking forward to his one.

I averaged 12 minutes per box of 25 last year. I only know that because of the video camera timer.

In my experience they work fine, however make sure to keep the gun clean (like any gun)
