A: Hi Lee! I'll share something Henry once told me: "We do not recommend shooting shotshells out of any Henry rifle because the shot pellets may foul or damage the rifle grooves." Your Ruger, however, should handle it just fine. I have personally fired tons of shot through my own ancient Ruger Standard and have yet to note any damage. That said, there's no way this ammo will cycle your semi-auto. The crimped case mouth has a way of getting a little stuck inside the chamber, and the very low chamber pressure won't give the gun the juice it needs cycle automatically.

A: Thanks for reaching out! I'm not certain whether you've got a M9_22LR or 21 A Bobcat. I'm going to ask Beretta themselves for an answer to your question. I suspect this ammo may run better in the Bobcat, but I'd rather give you a definitive answer from the source. I'll update this comment once I hear back from them!

A: Oh yes, absolutely. Henry even makes a dedicated lever-action specifically for shotshells, but a conventional lever-action rifle ought to run this ammo just fine!

A: Hi Jerry. They will not work in any semi-auto rifle as far as cycling. Most can fire them, if loaded one round at a time directly into the chamber, but ejection and extraction will have to be by hand as well. Give me a shout if you have any further questions. 800-317-9506

A: Great question, Rob! Yes, you can use the 22 LR -25 gr #12 Shotshell Federal Game Shok ammo in a .22 revolver.
