Title: 12 gage short shells??
Post by: Flyin6 on January 29, 2024, 09:16:30 AM
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?

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.

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……

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.

Did you have to put any kind of adaptor in the gun?
Title: Re: 12 gage short shells??
Post by: JR on April 24, 2024, 07:15:18 PM
Nope, just a standard 12g pump.

Good. I saw someone put in an adapter.
