Benelli M4 and low recoil buckshots

[b0lingball]

Turners are having these low recoil buckshots on sale for $99.99 for 150 rounds. Will these work well with the Benelli M4? Someone told me before to avoid feeding low recoil ammos in my Benelli. Just want to make sure before I make the purchase. Thanks

No way to know for sure. My M4 has handled every low recoil round I've thrown at it so far and I've thrown a pretty good variety at it. But some M4's are more picky than others. Best to buy a box or two first and see before you commit to 150 rounds. Make sure your gun is well lubed too.

Also make sure you are broken in, 500+ rounds before you are truly broken in

the first 100 rounds my M4 fired were Winchester AA Light Target Loads (I happened to be shooting Trap/Skeet that day with another shotgun and decided to try the M4 on some clays). It functioned just fine - the light target loads are definitely lighter than the low/reduced recoil rounds

Why?

if you're worried about penetration in a HD situation, you have a semi-auto... it's too "easy" to fire multiple rounds of a lighter/cheaper load which will stop the attacker and not penetrate. You can empty the M4 before you can get 3 shots off in a pump. I wouldn't think twice about pulling the trigger multiple times in a HD situation w/ a semi. Not the same w/ a pump since target acquisition is much slower.

I'm not a hunter, so I don't now what other situation there is for low-recoil buck.

Either way, break in your M4 w/ some cheap trap rounds, and then test out the other loads.
