Hello. I will soon be the proud owner of my first shotgun, a 590 Mariner.
Should I be running over to Academy, or are their some good internet bargains in ammo shopping? I figure I want to try out 00 buck and slugs. |

PV, if it's your first shotgun, I suggest using light loads and maybe getting some lessons. Bad habits are hard to break. And, heavy loads combined with not good form can build flinches PDQ.

S&B makes cheap buckshot for the 12 bore -- for good prices on case quantities, check out http://www.ammodeal.com
I like Ammoman as well. Justin ------------------ Justin T. Huang, Esq. late of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania |

A word of caution on the S&B Buck - although perfectly reliable, the pattern produced by those shells will be twice as wide as an American made shell.
This has held true regardless of the shotgun I have used. Not a bad thing for very close range work (5-15 yards), but too dispersed beyond that. CMOS ------------------ NRA? Good. Now join the GOA! The NRA is our shield, the GOA will be our sword. |
