Turkey Slayer 0 Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) I have been reloading many years and about 1 1/2 months ago got a Saiga 12 so I figured I would make a good GP load for it, I hit home this weekend. The best load weather it be bird shot, any buck shot, even lymans sabots (I pour my own) and smooth bore slug, I have gotten consistantly proven groups, very simple recipie. Winn AA hulls Winn 209 primers 24 grains Universal Clays this is important, Universal Clays has the perfect burn rate that I was trying to achive out of some 15 or 16 odd powders I tried. WA112 wads 1 1/8 oz shot or 9 pellets 00 buck and so on your gas setting will be on 1 After I was done and thought I found the load, I loaded some 500 mixed Bird shot and my hand rolled 1 oz sabots I got incredibable patterns at 65 ft. and 2 1/2" groups on the sabots at 50 yds. I hope this will help some of you shotshell reloaders save time and money, Turkey Slayer Edited October 6, 2008 by Turkey Slayer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
