Even though it will shoot only the 2-3/4 shells they must be high velocity. But when loaded right, that shotgun never fails to fire. And I've sat in duck blinds in driving snow storms and it always goes off.

I really liked the gun when my friend with the Remington and I used to jump shoot ducks off all the pot holes. I had a big Labrador Retriever and he'd sneak along with us. He was comical to watch because when we'd go into sneak mode, so would he. When they came off the potholes, we'd knock them down and then he'd go into action. Man that was a lot of fun.
