Magnum - I ran a test and have some "good news/bad news" about the minishells.

First the good news- TEN of them will fit in the mag tube.

Now the bad news - The action will need to be "tweaked" to get it to function properly with the minshells. It double feeds them in stock configuration and then won't chamber. The action closes with the 2 shells lying on the lifter then jams. I didn't have time to play with it anymore than that and try to diagnose the reason or find a fix.

Good luck with it and let us know if you find a fix.
