Saiga 20 Patterns II

September 20th, 2008 by Justin Leave a reply »

In a followup to this post here’s some more testing with my Saiga 20.

Range: 15 yards
Load: Federal #3 Buck, 2 3/4″

I must have just pulled that shot high. It’s possible that point of impact and point of aim are off with this load and this gun, but given that the next two don’t show the same pattern I’m going to assume operator error.

Summary: This still won’t work for me. This is even worse than the test with Remington Express ammo. A good number of pellets are simply missing the patterning sheet. I think I’m going to have to choke this shotgun.

For what it’s worth I also ran some 3″ Federal #3 Buck through it and the results were about the same. I have the targets saved but haven’t taken pictures of them. It’s not really worth it.
