This thread reminds me I'm shotgunless right now. I bet that I could trade my WASR-10 for a nice auto shotgun sometime late November...

Im having problems with this. Had some in an ammo can. My shooting buddy went to a class with his Mossberg 500, had the magazine tube lock up twice. Full of the buffer material.
I opened several boxes in a new case, they were covered in the grit also.
I'll post the photos later

I personally use Buck'n'Ball. 1 - .65 cal round ball and 6 - #1 Buckshot.

I have been considering switching to #4 buckshot. I have read that it offers the best balance of penetration and energy transfer.

I fully admit I find shotguns to be disgusting relics of yesteryear.

That said, WTF does having a mish-mash of different loading in the tube as you describe accomplish? Never understood it and never had anybody explain it in any way that made sense.

If I were to be using a shotgun it would either have #8 or slugs in it, cause that's what I have around

I don't understand the guys who put different types of ammo in it though, it's not like during a stressful situation your going to remember what kind of gas is in the thing
