I bought the cheapest ammo I could find: about $3.75 per box of 25 "target 8-shot 2.75"
Gun functioned flawlessly. (I guess I put it back together right!) Since I'd never fired a shotgun before, it took me about ten rounds to get consistent on the sights. After that it was no problem to take out the large center of the shotgun target on the 50" range the American Shooting Center designates for defensive shotgun practice.
But even with the "light" 2.75 shells it was a bit of a shoulder pounder. Also, those 8-slug target shells didn't spread much at all at that range, but generally made 1 inch holes in the paper. Does this mean the same round could be used for home defense, and act something like a fragible bullet?
You know, I liked the Mossy so much, I've tempted to keep the Saiga I just got unfired, and then sell it later on.
