Sellier Bellot shotshells

[Bald1]

I couldn't resist the Bargain Cave offering at Cabelas that seems to be tied to S-B being bought up by someone else. They were offering 10 shot packs of your choice of #00 Buck (9 pellet), #1 Buck (12 pellet and not 16), or #4 Buck for $5.49. My only concern was with regard to some comments I've seen about the length being closer to 3" shells vice 2 3/4" reducing tubular magazine capacity. Few on line reviews but those I did find were positive. I ended up with 200 rounds of #1 and 100 of #00. Tried them in my Mossy 500 and found the held the full number for 2 3/4" shells without difficulty. Have yet to take some out to shoot / pattern but for these prices I'm not concerned at all.
