New Shotgun Break-In Period?

Recommended Posts

Run some birdshot (because it's the cheapest) to smooth out the action some and for you to get the feel of the firearm. 50 rounds is a good start. Then throw some of your home defense stuff down range and see how it feels.

The idea is to get the feel for how it cycles, and to also smooth the action out and work it out some. I know shotguns are ready to go out the box but you have to get to know her to see what she can do.

Here is my break-in checklist:

  1. Shotgun break-in & Ammo test
     
    1) Test variety of ammo - manufacturers and types
     
    a) 20 rounds of each
     
    i) 00Buck,
     
    ii) #1
     
    iii) Remy Managed Recoil 00Buck
     
    iv) Centurion - AC12MD10 Multi Defense Buckshot
     
    v) Winchester Supreme Elite® PDX1
     
     
     
    2) Pattern/Spread test
     
    a) 5 yards test – measure spread
     
    b) 7 yards test – measure spread
     
    c) 20 yards test – measure spread
     
    d) Select ammo for home defense situation
     
     
     
    3) Visit Shiela the masseuse after each 20 round session and let her work her magic on the body
