Moe Zambeak 53 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hi all! I have been reading through some posts here, and it seems like I might be abusing my S-12's a little. Whenever I bring them to the range, I usually run about 400 rounds between the two of them. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Overall I would say 400 is an accurate average. How 'bout you guys? How many rounds do you normally go through in a range session? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PVT Pablo 25 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 I usually buy 200 rounds or so of birdshot for clays, then 50ish of slugs/buckshot for blowin' shit up. You shouldn't feel bad about shooting your saiga's. Do you feel bad about driving your car too much? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulyski 2,227 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 A lot. As much as I can afford when I go out. 12 gauge has become my crack. The Saiga-12 is my pipe. Last time I literally smoked my pipe. The Duplicolor high temp engine enamel that I put on it temporarily til I get it just how I want it was melting. When anything touched the barrel, the paint just peeled off.(Time to stop procrastinating & hot-blue) The wood lower hand guard actually smoked from the inside. (I checked it & it's just charred a touch in 1 spot) I was testing the drum, & dumping all my mags as fast as I could in succession. That was 90 2 3/4 ,00 buck 90 3" Magnum 00 buck 45 3" magnum slugs 150 high brass #5 100 low brass #6 I do feel I spent too much on ammo that day. Usually, it's a bit less, but this last time I only shot the S-12 for a big mag & drum test. Usually I put 250 rounds through the Glock & others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 I usually fire ~200 rounds of birdshot, and ~10-25 rounds of buckshot/slugs, depending on what targets I have available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lucas_061287 0 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 When I had my AR, I'd dump about 200-300ish rounds per trip. My Glock, I'd only go through about 100rds of Federal ball per trip- defense rounds are getting rediculous, but at least I stayed proficient with it (3" groups at 25yds). My friends S12- he'd buy a pack or two of the 100ct Federal birdshot and we'd go through that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
volkov 318 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) 100-200 if I'm shooting clays Otherwise I shoot less 12 gauge and use more of the 5.45.. edit: why did answering this open 20 windows to this post on me? Edited March 9, 2010 by volkov Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TX-Zen 287 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 100-150 when I'm into it, but we spend a lot of time at 300 yards with the Drags and 5.45's so there are plenty of trips where I only shoot a mag or two. Z Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moe Zambeak 53 Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 So far it sounds like I'm putting them through normal use and abuse. Good to know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) ~250-350, a couple boxes of bulk crap, a lil of this-n-that (various slug/buck) and a few exotics thrown in for shitz-n-gigglz. Edited March 9, 2010 by ChileRelleno Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loveless 7 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 10 different 25 round boxes per case. So 250 rounds, give or take. I found it's easy to bring my gear and a case of ammo. The S12 doesn't get too hot and I have had plenty of fun by that point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ragnar 10 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) 400? I would have thought Moe's number would be divisible by three. 2 in the chest, 1 in the head, Mozambique, times however many targets. Edited March 9, 2010 by Ragnar Danneskjöld Quote Link to post Share on other sites
