TacticalResponse 0 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) Hornady 00 buckshot 1633 FPS 2 3/4 8 pellets. I don't know of any other 2 3/4 buckshot with this velocity and grouping. Ableammo seems to have the best price http://www.ableammo.com/catalog/product_in...oducts_id=73302 Edited May 12, 2008 by TacticalResponse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dylan 0 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I just got done testing different kinds of buckshot out of my 8" Tromix sbs. This ammo come in second with a 17" group at 25 yards Fedral law enforcement low recoil come in first at 7 1/2" to 8" groups at 25 yards. It would probable group good with a standard 19" inch barrel thou I plan on trying it out of a 19" saiga soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
getitat 609 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Hello I picked up a case for about $50 cheaper from an ammo dealer in Oklahoma that advertises on GunBroker. I got that link from a member here who posted it about a month ago. They have Federal low-recoil and full-power slugs and buck, Hornady TAP slugs and buck, it's like a candy store for S12 owners! Another place with an intriguing variety: http://ammunitiontogo.com/catalog1/index.php OrRedbeard, did you test Federal "low-recoil" against "full-power" shells? I have a feeling the "full-power" Hydra-Shok stuff may be some pretty awesome H/D loads. Don't tell me I need "low-recoil" stuff in my home, it's brick and Hardi-Plank (pretty much bullet-resistant concrete siding) and I hope to liquify any SOB I have to pull on.

Dylan 0 Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 I didn't have any full power fedral buck shot. I do have both full and low recoil slugs I have not got to test them yet. I am not done testing the buckshot, but think the low recoil will work fine if I need to use it. From what I have read the low recoil can penetrate more than the full power loads because they don't deform as much. I myself have no problem handling max power 3" loads but I would rather know how the load I am using will preform. I think the hornady would work great in my house as the shots would be much less than 25 yards, and will pattern fine for the close quarters. I think the slugs will work fine low recoil or full power. Use what ever you want, just make sure it all cycle fine, the low recoil stuff don't cycle on 1 so I have to put it on 2 in my gun.
