Scatillac 22 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Looking for inexpensive high brass option. Something to run through my gun anywhere from 25-50 rounds before i feed some lower brass stuff through it, every trip to the range. One member recommended birdshot Remington Nitro 7.5 shot 1 1/8 oz 1300 fps. Something like .32 a round. Which is fairly cheap IMO. Don't really want to spend lots of money on higher brass, but will settle somewhere in the middle while i break in my saiga12. Anyone else have some others I could look at? thank ya Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I take it you mean magnum-level loads. The height of the brass doesn't indicate the power of the load. Wolf Buck is pretty hot, and relatively inexpensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rottieman33 90 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) you might want to look into reloading shot shell. I make all my rounds for my Saiga 12. Slugs,buck shot, and bird shot .25 round of 00 buck cost me $11.07 to make. Store bought 00 buck you looking to spend $30-$40 for 25 rounds Edited February 27, 2011 by Rottieman33 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mullet Man 2,114 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) I primarily run that stuff thru mine. Its rated a bit faster then Win Universal (~1200fps). Its not high brass but its cheap @ $22 for 100, and seems to be pretty consistent. I get mine from Farm & Fleet. Sometimes its on sale at $20/100. If you can buy online, RIO Royal buckshot and Sellier & Bellot buckshot run pretty good in S12's and in quantity, can usually be had 250rds for $105-$110 or so. I'm a fan of the RIO Royal #4 21 pellet buck, rated at 1345fps. I've never had one issue with the stuff. Edited February 27, 2011 by Mullet Man Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have enough room to reload, or I would consider. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lbsrdi 1,078 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I like Fiocchi Crusher to warm mine up with. $8 a box of 25, at Gander Mountain. I have never had a problem with them, even when my gun was brand new and not broken in well, like it is now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scatillac 22 Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Picked up some Remington Premiere Nitro 7 1/2 shot. 1300 FPS. box of 25 for $9. Thanks for all the replies. I will check out every one of them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Expensive shipping, will look into other places, but will maybe get some of this! It's ~27 pounds for 250, so it actually costs them real money to ship. But there are lots of places with decent fairly cheap ammo. (edit: ) Those two are what and where I have purchased ammo recently that I shot through my Saigas. Look at http://gun-deals.com...p?caliber=12+Ga Edited February 28, 2011 by KevinInNM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrOneEyedBoh 14 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Anyother good cheap stuff to shoot out of the Saiga? I might get in on the slugs. Not bad at all... And that WOULD be considered high brass at 1400. Thats some of the higher stuff I've seen at wally world ( looking for cheap stuff haha ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevin.rose0@gmail.com 62 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 They are pretty stout. I shot 55 of the slugs, with a sissy pad, on Friday. My shoulder still hurts a bit. But they seemed accurate enough. I was shooting at 15-20 yards, in one of the action pistol pits, so I don't know how it works at range, but I could keep a 5 round mag on the head of an IPSC target easily using the stock iron sights.

MrOneEyedBoh 14 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) cool man.
