[QUOTE="Serenity Bushcraft, post: 875309, member: 8852"] If you are worried about wearing out the spring or causing damage to the ammo then just download the shotgun by 1 round. If it is a tactical shoty then you will still have plenty of ammo on board to handle almost every domestic doodle that can happen where you would need to deploy your tactical blaster. Springs on the shotguns are easy as hell to replace AND they tend to last forever. It is the ammo that needs to be replaced most of the time. The rounds will tend to swell at the nose from the pressure and they will not feed reliably. Depending on the ammo it can take a few days to litterly years before this is a problem. Besides it is a good idea to download your tactical shotgun by one round anyway. It makes changing ammo types quick (like going from buck to slugs, you simply push a slug into the mag tube and rack the slide, you will loose the round in the chamber but you gain a long range solution to an otherwise unsolovable problem) They teach this technique at Gunsite.
