DirtyDigz 1,811 Posted March 7, 2018 Dang, minis are expensive rounds (~$.90 each). Anyone have experience with using them in a KSG? I’d like to try doing a 30 round “tube dump”. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaddyNick 408 Posted March 7, 2018 Interesting. Has anybody used these for hunting? A Definite neat factor but wonder how practical they are. Nick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sevenshot 98 Posted March 7, 2018 I've used them in a shockwave. Definitely makes it more comfortable to shoot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nick I think mini shells are best used in home defense and possibly shtf if you literally run for the hills. I would not use them for hunting when there are better alternatives.

I have no doubt, that inside 10 yards, double aught buck mini shells will get the job done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xXxplosive 823 Posted March 7, 2018 So just what is the advantage of using a mini over a standard 12ga. shot shell or magnum load....at almost a buck $$$$ a round....I don't get it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xXxplosive 823 Posted March 7, 2018 Hmmm.....but reduced shot capacity vs. a standard high brass or mag. load......correct. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scorpio64 5,147 Posted March 7, 2018 I have to correct myself. Aguila mini buck is not 00. It is seven pellets of #4 buck and four pellets of #1 buck. Still an effective home defense shell. I have seen what a 7gr .177 pellet traveling at 800fps can do at 30 feet. The mini shell load traveling at 1,200fps can only be better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Ray 3,566 Posted March 9, 2018 I gotta be be honest, I really see this ammo as a gimmick. Yeah, it's still 00 Buck and slugs. Yeah, it will make a mess of human flesh. But, it needs the adaptor to be reliable. My opinion has changed since shooting my Shockwave. Low recoil or standard pressure 00 Buck is totally doable.

I don't use the mini-buck, but I use the mini-slugs and bird shot in my KSG (and single-shot in a Browning A5). I mainly use them for my wife and kids to get them used to shooting a shotgun. Shooting clays is more fun for them when they don't have to worry about recoil. Same for punching paper with mini-slugs. Like most others they are not in the rotation for self-defense rounds...

silverado427 10,675 Posted March 10, 2018 I picked up a couple of boxes, I also picked up a OPSol mini clip adapter. jic 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indianajonze 379 Posted March 12, 2018 I picked up a couple of boxes, I also picked up a OPSol mini clip adapter. jicI was going to ask about that adapter. Is it required with the mini shells? It's cheap, so buying it isn't a big deal, but I'm wondering what is the advantage of it. Is it specifically for a Mossberg? Are other shotguns not able to shoot these mini shells?Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The shells are too short to feed reliably. Keeps 'em from flipping around. OpSol makes a rem and mossbeg version that fits several guns because they use the same action. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indianajonze 379 Posted March 12, 2018 Pretty much. The shells are too short to feed reliably. Keeps 'em from flipping around.Ah thanks. Seems like it would work in any shotgun, but then why on their site do they only mention Mossberg? Would it work in a Remington 870?Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would it work in a Remington 870? I thought OPSol made two versions but it looks like there is officially just the Mossberg version which works in these models. Allows use of 12ga 1.75” Birdshot, Buckshot, and Slug shells Fits: 12ga Mossberg 500, 590 (Shockwave), 590A1, and Maverick 88 models Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indianajonze 379 Posted March 13, 2018 ok so i emailed opsol. for anyone wondering, this device is exclusively for the mossbergs and the maverick 88. won't work on the 870 or any other shotgun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought so. The lifter on the 870 does not have a gap like a 500/590A1. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
