Zog117 0 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 So I'm still relatively new to the MKA 1919/ 3 gun/ shotgunning. What brand(s) of birdshot have you guys found to work well/ suck in this weapon system, specifically in the 10rd factory mags (if that makes a difference)? I've been shooting Walmart Winchester stuff lately because that's all I currently have/ I've been able to find, and I get intermittent feeding issues (FTF and FTE). I have heard that Winchesters aren't the best, partially because they have a weaker hull that deforms easier than other brands. On the flip side, I've heard that Remingtons hulls are a little more rigid and feed better. Dunno where I heard this from, but any insight to this topic would be greatly appreciated. On a side note, I have a Tooth and Tail Armory upgraded AR-12. Does anyone know if it is advisable to use Tromix Gas Booster Bushings with Tooth & Nail Armory drive blocks or any of their other components to help cycle bird shot? Thanks!

Waynefi 4 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 For me, so far besides the 00 buck that all seems to work, Remington Premier Nitro Sporting Clays has worked the best, including 10 round mags. On the other hand the Federal Hi Brass loads for some reason did not work well in 5 or 10 round mags. I have not tried anything less than 1300FPS, and probably will not. The Winchester AA Super Sport is supposed to work well, but I have not been able to find any. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
congewe 14 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 I`m shooting Remington gun club. 1 1\8 oz, 7.5 shot at 1200 fps. Works well for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AR-12 Shotgun 16 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Federal bulk pack runs good for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tankin 1 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Winchester aa super sporting clays 7.5 shot work flawlessly in mine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JeremyT 15 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Rem gun club & fed bulk runs fine here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueOvalBruin 0 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Remington and federal walmart promos have worked well for me. Although I did have a rim ripped off a rem gun club hull last weekend at a 3gun match (fortunately a local match). First time that ever happened to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
