There really is no specific shell to be used in the Benellis. The one restriction is that you shoot at least 3 drams eq. and 1 1/8 oz. loads in the semi automatics. It is recommended that you shoot some heavy stuff at first, to take the rough edges off of the gun. (Break it in). Once this is done, you may get away with some lighter loads. I have, with few problems. Other than that, buy what you like and let 'er rip. Good luck, and welcome to the world of Benelli and this Forum.... Mike

Those will definitely work, M1014. Oh ya..

All guns behave differently. Even two samples of the same model.

I'd say try them several different shell brands and use whichever one you feel works best in YOUR gun.

I agree with Timb99 to a point, but its best to look at the indian not the arrow. Learning how to shoot it well far out paces the ammo your running through it.

That's a fact!
