Which ammo to avoid for the Saiga 12?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I wonder if there is any ammo known to NOT work with the Saiga 12. I've heard something about Winchester Universal from Wally World, but am othertherwise lacking information. If we could get a list together and make it sticky, that would be great. Anyone have any specific ammo and/or general guidelines?

For the most part, a well broken in saiga will run it all, flawlessly!

 

There is no "standard ammo to stay away from"... maybe an individual gun here or there wont like this or that... but it will by no means be the norm... just the rare exception.

So, low recoil rounds and light loads and Winchester Target loads are all ok?

If your gun is broken in, and you are using the proper gas setting, yes... it should run them. If not... dont use them. simple as that. :up:

 

Mine runs the red wally world light target loads flawlessly... never ran any other low recoil stuff through it... recoil is already low enough... why bother...

does anbody know anything about if the federal universal shells sold at wal mart will work? i usually stay away from the winchester universals at wal mart, but will the federal universals work?

Federal should cycle fine in a properly-working gun. Make sure you use gas setting 2.
