I've tried the mini-shells in half a dozen shotguns, and had only so-so reliability in one (a Mossberg 500.)

Since they were introduced to give greater capacity in a magazine tube-fed gun due to the shorter length, and the shells in the IAC load straight down, you gain nothing from using them since the diameter of the shell is the same as standard shells.
