Thread: Trap loads for semiautos

That's good info, thanks for crunching the numbers! I will have to remember to buy high velocity 1300fps+ target ammo for the M2.

No doubt the differing "brass" specs affects cycling in semi auto guns, in addition to ballistic performance.

My gas operated 11-87 field gun cycles soft 28 gram target loads (although needs a quick clean after each slab of ammo) and still comfy to use with 42 gram lead magnums.
M2 is normally used with 32 gram 00 buckshot at 1325 fps and is nice to shoot. It's a real tiger with 42/44 gram magnums, but I love the zero-maintenance reliability of the inertia action.
