IMO, a solution in search of a problem.

The likelihood of needing more than 7 rounds from your shotgun is remote, but even if you do, that's a software issue solved by learning to load while firing, not a hardware issue solved by compromising power and (likely) reliability by stuffing more rounds in the mag.

Think for a second, would you rather have 6 pellets of 00 buck at 1250 or 9 pellets of 00 buck at 1345 (Federal LE12700). I know what I'll pick.

Only application I can see (provided they prove reliable) is for shooters who are recoil sensitive. Even in that case there are many reduced recoil 12 ga 2 3/4" shells out there as well as 20 ga offerings.

Just my opinion...........
