Is a pump or semi auto shotgun used exclusively for clay shooting required to have a magazine plug?

No, but all clubs limit loading more shells than targets thrown, so one in the chamber for singles, one in the chamber and one in the magazine for doubles. Some clubs will hold 3 bird Sporting Clays games, then you are allowed two in the magazine. But, other than exhibition shooting, no more than three shells would ever be necessary.

A three-shell total maximum for waterfowl, the exception being the Spring Light Goose Conservation Action (aka Spring Snow Goose Season) when there is no magazine restriction. Bring on the 10-round extensions and let freedom ring.

water fowl and small game hunting, you need a plug in your gun, hopefully your not loading the magazine tube with the max amount of shells it can hold while on the line

I have not seen it enforced but several yeara ago the ATA rule books said the weapon could hold nor more than a certain amount, think a 870 or 1100 with a plug. Reason I remember was a person was saying that they had run into this rule being enforce and was told that technically the club did not have to allow a weapon with more that 2 shots capable. I have seen that outside the US but not here. My 391 was set up to accept no more than 2 rounds. That is why I remember. May have just been full of it but I have seen rules carried to the extreme before. Have not seen the current ATA eule book.

I'd really like to hear other ATA shooter's recollections on that.

I only go back to the 70’s but I’ve never heard the ATA ruling on capacity. Only ruled on loading 1 for singles/handi and 2 for doubles.
Waterfowl and migratory birds yes. But depending on state regulations it can be more.
