Just today I purchased a new Mossberg 590 shockwave.
I was checking it out and loading it up.
I loaded some Federal (10+ years old) 2¾" slugs.
They all cycled fine then I went to load up some 2¾" Rio 00 buck.
They wouldn't go past the brass (high) into the tube magazine.
They would go into the barrel if hand loaded from the ejection port in the receiver but not if I want them in the tube.
Any ideas"
Only thing that comes to mind is the Rio may just be slightly bigger for the tolerances in this new gun.
I really hate to have to completely disassemble and try to buff out the magazine tube but may have to.
I cast and reload my own buckshot and slugs and have a lot of different manufacturers hulls I can load to try out... including many used Rio and new Fiocchi .
What say you guys?
