Took the Mossberg 930 SPX put today and did some drills shooting steel. I also decided to confirm my zero for slugs and pattern my 00 buckshot load for referance. Distances were measured in my own "paces" because I don't have a rangefinder. Longest distance in my house is 8 paces, and for those of you who did not get orienteering merit badge in Boy Scouts a pace =/= a step. My pace is 5' give or take an inch or two.

Here is the buckshot patterns at 3 distances. Load was Estate (Federal) standard 2.75" 9 pellett 00 buckshot.



Here is some slug shooting, Federal low recoil Tru-Balls. (don't mind the pistol shooting holes and lead splatter from the steel targets)



On a side note, the only failures I have had with this gun are failures to feed. Every now and then a shell gets stuck halfway in and halfway out of the magazine tube. Would a better magazine spring and follower help this? The gun is past it's break-in period but still has the FTF every 150 rounds or so (with heavy loads).

I replaced my follower with this and everything seemed to be a little smoother.  This may help

Id say replace the magazine spring and follower.I like the OE steel follower but it may be binding.A mossberg 590 spring fits the 930SPX.

Does that follower effect capacity?
