Modifications necessary to use Aguila Mini-Shells
I have shot mini shells in single shot shotguns and they are great. I would like to know if any of ya'll have done the modifications necessary to make a pump action work correctly with these little shells? I sure could put a lot of these in a full length magazine! Mods to an auto-loader would be even better!!

Max,
Are you telling me they work 100% in a Remy 870? If so I gotta get an 870!! Which 870 though...there are many variations?

They work fine in my old Stevens humpback, Mossberg 500 and Beretta Silver Pigeon.

I hear these are high pressure loads so they cycle autos, true?

I was wondering about using them in my 1930 English 2" 12ga. SxS but was advised against it.

drewhenrytnt,
i just bought an old beat-up 870 that was a police trade in 1993. updated it with the new follower kit from remington. i've yet to have a problem with it with any shells. i haven't shot many of the shorties through it but it ran well with the ones i did.
