kdmoore Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Here’s a post that I copied and pasted from the Saiga forum. Someone chrono’d slugs out of a single bbl gun as they cut it down. It gives some indication, tho the load is not birdshot. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Here's the breakdown based on a single shot break open shotgun. BBL. Length Aguila Win 3"(1 oz.) Rem 2 3/4" (1 oz.) 31" 1022 1725 1557 25" 1137 1685 1498 19" 820 1542 1411 13" 1139 1433 1324 7" 1024 1134 1131 I know the numbers look screwy, but that's what they were. I'm guessing QA/QC is to blame for the fluxuation. Caspian &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Metal Only Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 As a reloader I use 16.5 gr. of red dot w/ 7/8oz. of 7 1/2 shot . There are about 300 pellets. or 18gr. of red dot w/ 1oz. shot #4 . In this load there are about 135 pellets. My own tests results in this area are, both loads are good, but if you want knock down power @ 30 yards. Sneak in that #4, unless there are a lot of clays.

Carlos Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Please disregard previous post. The effective rule in 3gunning seems to be: if you hit steel and it fails to fall because its set too heavy (even for designated Major ammo) - tough luck. Use stronger ammo next time. Anyone want to buy a 20 gauge converted Saiga w/ 2 of the 10 round mags & 5 smaller mags? Will be switching back to the Super X-2 and buying high brass #6s & buckshot for steel.

Topmaul Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I like 7.5 heavy dove with a Full Choke, just me, I take advantage of the extra range when the opertunity presents itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use stronger ammo next time Carlos, maybe in IMG matches, but that is NOT the way it goes, or is supposed to at a USPSA rules match. If a USPSA rules match says that, they are not using USPSA rules!
