Runs like a champ
Just picked up a mac1014 (turkish benelli m4 clone, semi-auto 12ga) and had been breaking it in with slugs because it wouldnt eject the 4 different 00 buck high-brass high-velocity that i had (fiocci, sellier&bellot, federal, hornady black). I dont know what it is about the Rio Royal Buck, but my mac 1014 eats it ALL and asks for seconds. Stock recoil spring. Stock bolt. No choke. Also, the box i got had clear casings, not black, and did appear to have shotcups / sabots, so pattern was about 4-6 inches at 5-10 yards. Great stuff. Buy it, even if it's not on sale.
