I recently bought a Benelli M4 on an impulse buy and ordered 250 rounds of Winchester Super X 00 buck and it's the high brass I'm always used to seeing. Then I seen a deal for this Fiocchi Defense Dynamics 9 pellet 00 buck. It comes in at 1250 fps, but uses 8mm brass according to their website. The Winchester is 1325 fps so not that much difference like low-recoil loads...
But the Fiocchi has a translucent case and the powder clearly exceeds the 8mm brass. I know high brass only really mattered when cases were either paper or shittier in past times. Is this some kind of material savings thing or are these loads like somewhere in the middle of full power and low recoil buckshot??
Interested to know if anyone has used these before? If they won't cycle the Benelli I still have a pump so no real loss just wondering. I will note that literally every picture of this shit shows high brass on google, unless you put in the product code 12EX9P and you find one amongst the rest..
Thanks for the help!
Edit: I'll post a picture of it.
