Agreed. Ammo rotation is always a good idea; not just for shotguns either. In addition, downloading by one or two could not hurt either. Less tension in the spring, less tension on the ammo. Scientific fact? I do not know. But from what I have discovered, it seems logical to me.

When using guns for HD, I tend to rotate ammo (in the shotgun) every 4 months or so, in addition to downloading by two. Given that it is a high cap tube, this works for me. For handguns, the cycle happens every 6 months or so, along with all single stack mags being downloaded by one and double stacks being downloaded by two.

As has been mentioned before, better safe than sorry.

Of course, using "appropriate" ammo never hurts either. In terms of the shotgun, I have found that Federal LE loads are quite resilient.
