Choice of ammunition
The Benelli semi-automatic shotgun can
use shells with a 65 mm (2” 1/2) or 70 mm
(2” 3/4) case, with maximum shot loads of
42 grammes (Demi-Magnum) for 12 gauge
and 32 grammes (Demi-Magnum) for 20
gauge.
For models with Magnum barrel, besides
the above types of ammunition, 76 mm
(3”) cartridges may be used with maximum
permissible shot loads of 56 grammes for
12 gauge and 36 grammes for 20 gauge.
Warning
Never use cartridges with case longer
than the chamber, as this would have se-
rious consequences for both the gun and
shooter.
No adjustment to the shotgun are neces-
sary to fire any of the ammunition listed
above.
Always use ammunition that is powerful
enough to fully cycle the action.
All Benelli shotguns are subjected to a
1370 bar burst test at the Italian National
Proof House in Gardone Valtrompia
(Brescia).
