cscharlie 107 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I've not tried 3" 000, but I have used 3"win slugs, and 00. I've burned through several AGP 10 round mags full of the 3" slugs as fast as I could pull the trigger, one mag after the other. It was tough to keep the muzzle from climbing too high.

hobbyshooter 59 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I've shot 3" WIN 1 buck from an AGP with no ill effects but a sore cheek. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WHITE 3 GOLF 2 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Is it me or does the burned powder have a "sweet" taste to it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ManOnFire 0 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 4 x 10 rounds of 3" 000 buck from my AGP mags cycled just fine. No FTE, no FTF, no exploding magazines....but I live in AZ. It's not cold. What's with the cold weather and exploding mags anyhow?!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobRez 1,895 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I shoot 'em all the time. The agp mags say 2 3/4 only but they have cycled 3" fine, but I agree that you should stick to the 5 rounder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I live in Montana so it's pretty cold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bounce12 407 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I recently shot some of these rounds on Bvamp's recommendation. It brings a whole new meaning to the word, "Shotgun." Whoa baby! Aside from wondering if I'd need to go see a chiropractor after the shoot, it was great (just kidding). I am in LOVE with the high-powered rounds and the Saiga loves them. The kick is awesome and it occurred to me that I might be doing some damage to the internals. HA! No way. I took it apart to check it (inspected the back of the firing pin and the butt plate) and couldn't even tell it had been used. That's no kidding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
