I am trying to decide which might work better for distant plates and spinners. The #4 with it's smaller shot and larger pattern might be slightly more forgiving of an off-center hit.

 

What do, "all ya'all" (I miss the South) think?

I've had good luck using S&B #4 buck and a tight choke on heavy reactive steel. It seems to feed a bit more reliably in the Saiga-12 due to it's sightly longer length and roll crimp. Plus it's cheap as you can find it around $5 a box of ten rounds.

Thanks I will look for some at that price.

 

 

Neither of the ranges that I shoot at allow buck on plates because of ricochets. We do bird at plates, buck at pins/wood/paper. Bird bounces back off of wood and pins.

 

Some of the matches out here in the West we shoot a large amount of buck shot on plates (with eyepro ofcourse). I have never experienced splatter from Buck Shot. Lots from regular pistol rounds but never shotgun stuff.

Yeah, buck moves too slow for splatter or something. The richocheted rounds that I've seen (00 buck) just have a flat side on them.
