I got them here http://www.ballisticproducts.com/12ga-DGS-12-Slug-25_pak/productinfo/0721612/ Ballistic Products has reloading data as well for them. Basic Shot Shell are really not that expensive Bill

Trijicon is my choice due to no batteries and really like it on mine. Bill

Oh Heck Is that why the damn thing falls off every 5 shots. Thanks Bill

OK Finally the test. The DGS slug gave me a rough 4-5" group at 50 yards with a Trijicon dot. At 10 yards a clover leaf...I'm sold... Next will chronograph and publish the load. IMHO this is the best close range round for HogZilla or any large game including Grizzlies . Penetration in soft earth was deep enough to make recovery a hassle. Bill

Head Shots count....No Batteries needed Bill

Thanks I measured the Barrel as an IC Choke. Just curious if the same diameter was further down the barrel. Good to know about the powder burn. In CQC a shorter barrel is less of a liability. Bill

Will cutting the barrel affect accuracy. I'm a big fan of tagging those steel plates at 50 and 100 Yards. Also velocity... Like the OO at least 1200FPS? Bill

The DGS 1-1/8 oz slug w 40gr of longshot worked great. Groups at 25meters were 3" standing and firing from the shoulder. Given my error I could safely say these are at least 8moa or better through my Saiga using iron sights. Will test for accuracy and chronograph once my rail and Trijicon sight arrive. Kick was a bit less than my OO loads and cycled perfectly on the 1 gas port setting. Bill

Bump 5 DGS loaded with 40gr of longshot.... Wont chronograph but will post accuracy with stock sights... Hoping for less than 4" at 50 meters would be ok with 6" as this is the close range SHTF option followed by my Glock 20.... Bill

Finally contacted Ballistic Products. Their answer was these should be fine through an IC Choke. They did say that the DGS slug is a harder lead alloy than the AQ slug. I measured my chokes from by Bennelli and their IC was the same Diameter as the Saiga stock barrel. Plan on loading up a few with Longshot and taking them to the range. I'm looking for 6" at 100Yards. Bill

Bump

How do they shoot at 25 yards. Looks very effective at close range but looking for better than musket ball accuracy as those steel plates are 100 yards. At that price looks like a very good value...Less than cheap 44 mag, could you toss a link for purchase. Bill

<Sheldon Cooper> Actually, that would be an adult pellet gun. </Sheldon Cooper> YEP But size matters... Is a .009" squeeze going to up chamber pressure in a bad way??? Or Perfect for accuracy.... Bill

Thats the accuracy I was looking for. Just still have to find out if the slugs could be squeezed .009" without any pressure issues. Bill

Looks Like an adult BB gun...Like it Have not tried it but will do. Any idea on accuracy from a smooth bore. Also whats the max dia? Bill
