    Buckshot overkill? Picture added.

    mossy.jpgHey guys kinda random but I jus put some new goodies on my mossy new side saddle, sling etc. So now including the mag tube and chamber I have room for 35 rounds of 00 buck on my boom stick is that to much? Lol its my HD gun so I just have it so I don't need to be fumbling around lookin for shells when I have over 30 rounds of buck on it.

    In the picture there are a couple of shells missing from the sling but you get the idea. FYI it is not currently on my shotgun.

    You plan on being in a sustained firefight? What you have in the tube should be sufficient for HD.

          You ever carried 35 rounds of buckshot on a shotgun and tried to shoot with it? That much ammo is HEAVY! I won't tell you what to do or not to do, but filling the mag up and having a couple extra rounds in a side saddle is more than enough for just about anything that comes your way.

            While I do agree for being prepared, and that two is one, and one is none, I would think 35 might be a bit cumbersome. Keeping the side saddle loaded I can understand, but the remaining +20 shells, will just start to weigh everything down.

            When I take my rifle or shotgun out of the safe, I notice the sling already becomes a tangling factor. I would think a fully loaded sling, would even be more of a mess.

              If that works for you, I say go for it!

              But seriously, make sure nothing gets in the way of shotgun operation, and make sure all things will stay attached to said shotgun during possible stressful operation.

                  Im 6ft 1 in. 247 pounds, im used to carrying weight lol. It is heavy but still very functional. The way I see it is if the "intruder" is still wanting to stick around after 35 rounds of buckshot then im just going to cry. Plus I got to be ready for the zombie apocolypse at all times!

                    take the shells off the sling, too much weight swinging around, ends up being a liability. Find and take a fighting shotgun class from a known instructor. I guarantee that sling set up gets tossed in the trash

                        Travis, I agree that no shells should be carried on a sling. A sling for HD? Just gets caught on things indoors. 30+ rounds, yeah overkill for HD.
                        A white light, side saddle and be done with it. Use all your "extra money" on learning how to hit what you shoot at (training).

                            Well the sling is easily detachable lol I have it for the same reason as my bayonet. "Just in case" of what? Who cares it looks badass! Lol

                              +1 on the training course. Shoot a couple combat shotgun matches and see what works for you.
