We finally had an opportunity to fire the new A400. The first 50 shells were Monarch (Academy) 7/8oz at 1300fps. They worked fine and ejected about nine feet. Then we fired about 30 Winchester AA shells - 7/8oz 1200fps - and they also worked well, ejecting about five feet. I believe I'll buy a flat of 3/4oz at 1080fps, though I doubt they'll work as well. We'll run them through the Beretta 686 if the A400 won't work them.
Trigger pull is reasonable at 5-1/2 pounds, with very little creep.
It's a nice shotgun, and not as finicky as I expected.
