Sellier and Bellot 12 gauge #00 buck (SBA01235) contains a warning that:
“…this ammo will not function in older guns like the Browning A-5 because of longer crimp style.
I'm looking at it for training, has anyone had an experience with this ammo?  Will it function in an FN Police Shotgun?

You will probably get 1 less round in the tube (they tend to be slightly longer than regular 2 3/4" shot shells due to the roll crimp) other than that you should be fine.

Also, (unless you like full power loads) I would go with the 9 pellet 00 buck instead of the 12 pellet which has a rather nasty recoil impetus.

Her is a pick ofa few rounds the S&B is long as a three inch round. The slug round in the pic is rolled crimp too. Basical it is a three inch round.

Thanks Tripwire & M4-Tuna for the feedback.  I think I'll pay a bit more and go with another load to avoid the longer shell and with 8 or 9 pellets for lighter recoil.
