A: Thanks for reaching out! The VR80 manual does indeed recommend breaking in the shotgun with heavy loads. You can have a look at the guidelines yourself on page 2: https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/559399/RIA%20VR80%20CA%2004-2020.pdf
You want ammo that meets the following criteria:
• Quality shotshells only
• Minimum 2-3/4”, 3 dram shotshell to be used (a shotshell with 1-1/8 ounces of shot loaded to a minimum muzzle velocity of 1,200 should meet the 3 dram equivalent criterion)
• Minimum velocity 1250 fps
• Minimum 1-1/8 oz of shot
I've taken a look through our inventory and picked out a few options for you:
luckygunner.com/12-gauge-2-3-4-1-1-8-oz-7-5-shot-estate-cartridge-250-rounds
luckygunner.com/12-ga-2-3-4-1-1-8-oz-8-fiocchi-white-rhino-250-rounds
luckygunner.com/12-gauge-2-3-4-1-1-8-oz-7-5-shot-estate-cartridge-25-rounds-26221
Please let me know if I can be of any more help!
