thepatriot 0 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 FIrst off does this cycle well in Saigas? Secondly is $.43 a round a good price. I am looking for some cheap buckshot I can stock up on. If this stuff isn't good I will get some fiocchi instead. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jswledhed 57 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Its been my experience that certain guns favor certain ammunition. Buy a box and try it. If your Saiga likes it, buy a bunch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Patria Povo 31 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I haven't tried these shells yet either - I am planning to buy a case next month for my 109. Generally, Spanish ammo is really good stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobRez 1,895 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I just got some myself. It is currently 3 degrees out with a wind chill of -16 degrees. As hardcore as I may(or may not) be, I am waiting to go out shooting til' the weekend!!! If you can wait, I will surely let you know how they work in my S-12. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mullet Man 2,114 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 You'll like it and so will your S12. I havent experienced any problems using it, out of the 250rd case i have been thru. It doesnt fit in an MD20 tho. This is RIO #4 21 pellet... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PVT Pablo 25 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Buy some! I bought some last year and not one problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arik 565 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I look for it at gun shows all the time as its the cheapest 12g ammo I have found. Feeds fine in my S12. No problems whatso ever. Havnt tried it in my promag drum though so I don't know if it fits in that or not Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mgconnor13 206 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Runs great in my S-12. Works just fine with all my mags and drums. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mullet Man 2,114 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Runs great in my S-12. Works just fine with all my mags and drums. Interesting. Which RIO and which drums? The 2-3/4" #4 21 pellet hangs up in my MD20. I can load it up, albeit tightly but upon feeding, hangs up in the drum. My calipers measured it out anywhere from 2.44" to 2.47" OAL.

datubie 21 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 RIO #4 buck and their Frangible slug (1 oz @1400fps) wouldn't cycle when my gun was stock (a 3 hole but witha MD Arms 5 position gas plug). However, the "full power" OO buck would cycle on position 4 & 5 no problem. For plinking I use their 1 1/8oz (1280fps) trap ammo which cycled 75% of the time in the stock gun. After I drilled out 2 of the gas holes to a true 3/32 and the other to 1 bit size larger, this load would cycle at settings 4 & 5. Now that I've drilled another 3/32 hole, these will run at plug setting 3 like a champ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 (edited) I've fired a few hundred rnds of Rio 00 buck and imo it's good ammo, especially for the price. The only downside is that Rio shells are roll-crimped, so they are too long to use in a MD-20, (including yours, Rusty truck ).

Zeroselect 3 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 I have the Rio 3 inch 00 Buck. I haven't fired it but handle cycling it seems fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobRez 1,895 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Tried out the Rio #4 buck shot, 2 3/4" this weekend. Shot very well. It was a bit too snug of a fit to feed out of my MD-20 drums, but cycled fine in stick mags. Mixed it in with bird shot in a 10 round mag and all shot well.I would recommend it.

Klassy Kalashnikov 1,393 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Not sure how they cycle in the S-12 since i use mine in a pump action. But, it is very good ammo, it is unbuffered and so it spreads out a lot quicker than some other brands, and makes a great pattern around 10-15 yards especially.
