scattergun10 125 Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 I was thinking of ordering some Fiocchi Reduced Recoil 00 or #4 Buck. Anybody use this ammo in their Saiga 12 with the factory gas plug ? Does it cycle properly on either setting, 1 or 2 ? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oilman 0 Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Have not tried the Fiocchi but Federal Tactical Reduced Recoil 00 Buck 8 pellet with flight control wad would not cycle in my gun on setting 1. It did cycle of setting 2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
porschechris 0 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Fiocchi reduced recoil 00 buck would NOT cycle in my Red Jacket converted S-12 with factory plug on #2 setting, or with gas fixer on #3. chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Caged_Bird 474 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 The only Fiocchi I've used was bird-shot loads. My weapon did NOT, I repeat did NOT, cycle them well. Just so you know it's not the weapon, I've used cheap-ass Rio bird shot in this thing with no problems... It would help if we knew of any mods performed on your weapon though...

going12220 125 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 I've shot a bunch of the Remington managed recoil buck and slugs in my 19" with a reduced recoil spring on setting 2 with no issues. don't know how it would be with the factory spring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have not done any mods to my S-12. It's brand new,I've only had it a few days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scattergun10 125 Posted August 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 What about the Fiocchi full power buck ? Anyone ever use this in their S-12 ? If so, did it cycle ok ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaigaNoobie 66 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 I will say this. The Remington Reduced Recoil 2 3/4" SLUGS are not as powerful as the Federal Birdshot Walmart packs.... had the misfortune of borrowing 2 slugs for a 3gun and had to manually cycle the slugs while the birdshot ran fine. . . . So be careful if your gun barely cycles the birdshot, it may not like the Reduced Recoil stuffs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hasdrubal 3 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I know you are asking about the Fiocchi, but just thought I'd add that Winchester reduced recoil buck does not cycle at all in my gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
