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 serious consequences for both the gun and shooter. No adjustment to the shotgun are necessary 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). 27 GB
