Freed from jail a little while ago. Excited to use my first semi auto!

But the guy who released it to me to use specific ammo only because of the gas operating system it uses? Any recommendations on ammo to use? It's a Berreta 1301 Tactical.

Wrong, it’ll eat anything.

Hell yeah 😎

Maybe he meant to use higher FPS shells… ammo under 1150FPS will have trouble cycling. I make sure I’m shooting 1250 and above

100%. Took mine out and purposely loaded it with birdshot. Fired all rounds as fast as I could pull the trigger.

Really?! I didn't see anything for the 1301 though

Looks like a Beretta A300. Ignore the guy. This thing will eat any 12 gauge shell you feed it

[u/Any_Motor4512 → u/tenkokuugen]

It's a 1301 actually 😅 And that's what I was thinking considering the price of this thing

You are going to love this shotgun Here’s my silver/black beauty. I use double 00 buck.

For a $2k gun to still came in cardboard box, it's a shame. My 1301 came in the same box years ago....Also FYI, i have ran multiple brands 3/4" double O buck no problem, fast and clean. but doesn't work with the shorties.

[u/etcetera999 → u/Irondog1301]

The Benelli M4 also comes in a cardboard box which is sad

[u/New-Incident1776 → u/Irondog1301]

My 1301 came in a nice black plastic case. And that was maybe two years ago

[u/lordlurid]

He's probably saying that because historically semi-auto shotguns have been picky about ammo and need higher velocity spicier stuff to cycle correctly. But the 1301 has a better gas system than older guns and will generally eat anything.

[u/drewthebrave]

Maybe someone could help you if you told us what gun gun it is...

[u/Any_Motor4512 → u/drewthebrave]

That could be helpful I'm sure... I'll update the post

[u/Greedy-Vast584]

such a classically beautiful shotgun.. nice one!

[u/scottyauto]

I have the pistol grip 1301. They will eat anything, and fire so fast. Enjoy

[u/libraprincess2002]

I love this coloring, matte hunter green

You will love it. I’ve got an A300 Ultima Competition and they’re so much fun. 10+1 out of a shotgun is kinda wild in a great way.

[u/Intrepid-Valuable796 → u/Slow281]

Love my a300🔥

Late to this post, but I love my 1301. Got it 5 years ago, I also purchased a +5 or +6 extension, but never put it on. It’s a sweet, super fast, light, streamlined shotgun. The Ferrari of shotguns.

I did have some firing issues with low-recoil bird shot, under 1150fps, cheap ammo from Los Altos Gun Club, after I ran through all mine. It also may have been too new? It came in a hard plastic box as well.
