    Thanks

    I will run a slab of heavier loads in it for a while and then retry the lighter Clever.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Ok, it all makes sense now, I get why you need a gun when you're out cycling.

    The Benelli and other inertia operated semi-auto shotguns all give unreliable performance with light trap loads. The easiest solution is to just use 32 gram (1-1/8 ounce) loads. They are also very sensitive to body stance, you need to lean into them to get reliable functioning. Leaning back, light body weight, or less than a firm grip will all affect functioning. The large spring behind the bolt head can be replaced with a similar sized one but made from one gauge smaller wire for reliable light load performance but it needs to be changed back for heavier loads.

    Rushy shouldn't have the platform wrong. His grip and lean maybe the culprits tho

    It takes a while but the smelly benellis will cycle light trap loads after a bit of use.

    It was tight in the shoulder and I was leaning into it on each shot. Maybe it was my light body weight, I am only 120 kilos these days. Ha ha ha ha.

    @Rushy ate all the pies?

    Glad I bought a gas gun, but it did come with an evil mag extension. I might have to hand it in just out of protest. I was going to just bin it, never use it, but since they're actually paying good coin I think it would be rude to deprive the baying sheeple masses the opportunity dip their hands in their pockets.
