Has anyone used the minishells in the 870? Any issues?
I'm setting up mine for the Mrs for when I'm away for work.

They don’t work well in a 870. Get some reduced recoil buckshot and a good recoil pad.

Federal is now marketing their own 1 3/4 inch mini-shells.
They're making a birdshot load, a slug, and a #4 buckshot load.
Apparently, unlike Aquila, the new Federal shells are full power.
The 870 can be modified by a shotgun specialist gunsmith to shoot the mini shells, but then the gun can't feed standard shells.
I had good luck with the Nobelsport 00 buckshot 2 1/4 inch loads in a KSG, and most people say the mini-shells work in the KSG and new K7S reliably.
The Kel-Tec guns are modified Ithaca Model 37 actions.

I asked Federal about using there shorty shells in a Mossberg 500 and a Remington 870. This is what they had to say.
Here’s the info for using shorty shotshells:
•Not for use in Semi Auto’s
•To our knowledge Mossberg is the only one that has an adapter for a pump shotgun
•They can be used in any break open single shot or side by side.
For more information on using in your shotgun, please contact the manufacture of the shotgun for advice.
Thank You

my moss 500AT is old .. when dad gave it to me i took it to the range to get ready for deer season .. $%%$%$@#@#@ its a Mule kicker
it sat in the corner for the next 20 yrs .. i did not like it ..
loaned it to a co-worker for hunting .. its a mule kicker , watch that scope .. he got scope eyed lol ..
i got back into guns and hunting .. what can i do to that mule kicker ..
got a nice recoil pad .. 1 inch , rigged up the table saw to cut the stock down to keep the trigger pull the same and fitted the pad to stock
its a totally different gun now .. love shooting it .. even use it for skeet .. 24/25 is my best with it so far .. and when shooting skeet i'm shooting
