The rings are set for "heavy load" as is, and that's throwing 1oz @ 1165 fps Herters hulls 10-12 feet! Went over it today at the range with an "A5 guy" who said he'd show me the various friction ring options. So I'm quite confident that the gun will work very well with 7/8oz reloads in the Herters hulls using the DR16 wad, which I won a free bag of this Xmas from here on that nice "closest number" thing. Haven't loaded them up yet, but just ran out of my flat of Herters so will start reloading them soon.

My older A5 would NEVER cycle those Herters loads on heavy setting. That's awesome your will, I agree it will likely cycle the light loads just fine with the light ring settings. Even my old would cycle 7/8 oz. I don't shoot it much no that I really like my Beretta SilverHawk SxS. |

Simply the finest automatic 16ga. ever produced by anyone.
I inherited mine from my father when I was 14. Produced in 1950.
I killed a lot of ducks with it when you could shoot lead.
I have a bunch more shotguns now, but, I still shoot the Sweet the best.
Enjoy it!
