The Benelli M3 is undeniably cool. However, in the past I haven't been able to get it to cycle properly in semi-auto with the lower-powered (cheap crappy Wal-Mart birdshot) loads. I thought it might be a good idea to take it out again and run some different loads through it and see what happened. The results were pretty predictable, with some surprises. The Estate "Heavy Game Loads" are low-brass but cycled it just fine. The Estate "Super Sport Competition loads" are a 3 dram equivalent load (rather than 3 1/4 like the heavy game loads) and didn't cycle it reliably unless I used my strong shoulder and really bore down on it. All high-brass, buckshot, and slugs cycled flawlessly. Great gun... kicks like a mule. :D
