Had the time for a short shooting session with my fiance yesterday, and was able to put the first rounds through my Mossberg 930HS. I put only 15 rounds of buck through it, then an additional 50 rounds of Federal wal-mart birdshot.
The buck all cycled fine, and I had 3 failures to eject with the bird shot. Since I'm will within the break in period, I'm not too worried about it. I did clean it up before going out. I'll clean it up again now that it's had some rounds through it, and get some more buckshot through it to finish the break in.
It shot great though, with much less recoil than my old 500. It did seem to be slapping me on the cheek when I was shooting. Should I use the supplied shims to lower the stock? Or raise it? I've never had to adjust a shotgun stock before.
Thanks!
