12 gage short shells??

[Flyin6]

Does anyone have any experience with these short 12-gage rounds? Buds has a sale on Federal 12 gauge shorty rounds with 1 oz slugs.

I might pick up a box to see how they run, but, ya, I suppose they would be pretty good defensive rounds and by stacking them in my 930, I'd have a bunch more to go pew-pew with.

Thoughts?

Experience with?

[Flyin6]

I just ordered 10 boxes to give them a try.

Reviews are good.

Seem to be a favorite for Shockwave owners. One claims 4"-5" groups at 50 meters. I can believe that. Shell is 1 3/4" in length and has pretty good ballistics.

If nothing else, will be a good plinker and fun to shoot at snakes near/in the pond. ;-)

Probably the most important part would be the ballistics. Having fun is one thing, self defense is much more important.

Run some in that fancy siaga and lets us know how it goes…..

That one has a particular gas system. I would venture a guess that those shells would not run in that gun.

Tom Cole who built it gave me a list of the ammo that would run, that he test-fired in my gun.

It's a short list.

I understand, I have two highly modified guns myself and they’re whet you might calling picky……

To review:

Do nothing to disagree with or in any way cast a shadow on anything the owner says or does, or may possibly say or do...

Now that those two varmints have been kicked to the curb, we continue

Have a tracking numba on the shorty shells.

Also, have a week of rain followed by five days of mudslides on the farm.

Sometime (someday) when it freezes up, I'll get a function check on the 930 and the Saiga-12.

Not hunting. Home protection gun. I want to increase the basic load from the same shotgun.

Here's what the shorty (Cute little things) shells look like:

[Flyin6]

I started off with a bunch of them!

[JR]

That is a "few" boxes, think I have 3 to try out, but OO.

[Atkinsmatt]

Did you have to put any kind of adaptor in the gun?

[JR]

Nope, just a standard 12g pump.

[Atkinsmatt]

Good. I saw someone put in an adapter.

[JR]

I could see for a semi auto.

[Atkinsmatt]

Me too but it was a pump.
