Found some mini shells today at the gun show to try out in my ksg. I wish they were slugs. I have wanted to try the mini shells and these were the first ones i have seen in store since I bought my Ksg. So I got 80 to try out. Now I'll have to go shoot some more clays and use the mini shells.

What shot size are they and how many oz.?
And how many can you cram into a KSG?
We need to know how well they feed. Some KSG's lov'em, some hate'em:headstratch:
Don't forget, no slugs thru choke tubes tighter than modified.

They are only 7 1/2 shot 5/8 dram loads. I have not seen how many will fit yet. I have an improved choke for when using slugs. I have been wanting to try them out just to see how they work.

I've put a bunch of mini shells (buck and slug) through my KSG with no issues. I got them to get my children used to using a shotgun without getting turned-off by a painful recoil.

My son did have one tumble a bit because he was short shucking a bit, but as long as you're firm when cycling it you should be fine.

I just ran 80 of these through mine with no issues. Currently keeping them in there for hd. I can fit 22 +1.

I really wanna pick up some slugs now.

And a salvo 12. MAC's got a video out of him running these shorties through a short salvo and its dead quiet.

I'm a fan of the mini-shells, but I'd never trust them as a HD load.

Due to their small size, they could tumble and mis-feed if not pumped properly, so I'd hate for that to happen in a stressful situation.

Just my opinion.

Have you considered the Herter's 6-pellet 00 load? The shells are 2 1/4" long and they are full velocity (but 2/3) weight (6 vs 9 pellets)? My 870 hates them but they feed fine in my 590 and my KSG.
