AMMUNITION

WARNING: Beretta assumes no liability for physical injury or property damage

resulting from the use of defective, improper, hand-loaded, reloaded or

remanufactured ammunition. Serious damage or injury, even death, may be

caused from the use of ammunition that is not suitable, loaded with force, or

loaded with obstructions in the barrel.

The Beretta A400 Xplor semi-automatic shotgun has different cartridge

chambers, depending on the version. The shotgun does not require

adjustments or interventions to shoot from 70 mm (2

in) /24 g (

oz), to

76 mm (3 in) /57 g (2 oz) cartridges.

The “UNICO” version without any adjustments or interventions can shoot from

70 mm (2

in) /24 g (

oz) to the powerful Supermagnum 89 mm (3 in.) /64 g

oz) loads.

Beretta recommends: To immediately obtain superior ﬁ rearm performance and

optimum cartdridge versatility from your A400 Xplor, ﬁ re some medium power

cartridges ﬁ rst (32g / 1

oz).

CAUTION: The Beretta semi-automatic A400 Xplor has an Optima-Bore

barrel and Optimachoke

HP choke tubes that make it possible to ﬁ re High

Performance steel shot ammunition. Follow the instructions for use of choke

tubes appropriate for the use of steel shot, as set out in the “Steel shot” section.

You will ﬁ nd the markings for the gauge and chamber length for your shotgun on

the side of the barrel (Fig. 20). Every A400 Xplor has been tested with special

proof test ammunition at 1320 bar with high performance steel shot. These tests

guarantee the ability to shoot either ordinary or HP steel shot (usually higher

than 3.5 mm of diameter) which cause higher pressure in the barrel.

CAUTION: Never use cartridges that do not correspond to the indicators on the

barrel.

CAUTION: Only use cartridges with a length equal to or less than the chamber

length indicated on the barrel.

CAUTION: To avoid using improper ammunition, always check the characteristics

stamped on the cartridge box and on the cartridge. Be sure to use the right

cartridge gauge and length for your ﬁ rearm.

STEEL SHOT

All Beretta barrels, as well as the “SP” (Steel Proof) Beretta choke tubes,

are designed for use with factory steel shot cartridges loaded to international

standard speciﬁ cations. When steel shot cartridges are ﬁ red, the best results

are obtained by using open chokes (C0000/CL, 0000/IC, 000/M). Full choke

constrictions (0/F, 00/M) when using steel shot, do not increase pattern density
