ClackClackBAM Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Hey all, this is my first time really using a shotgun for "plinking" and I was wondering what, if any, types of ammunition you prefer. I picked up a decent amount Federal of 2 3/4" slugs and buckshot but I'm looking for shells that aren't quite as expensive. Main targets will be paper and AR500 plates. And the occasional two liter soda bottle. Thank you for your suggestions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonyman74 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 It's been many moons ago I bought some Wolf 00 buck. Shoots great and was fairly cheep. I think it was a 500 round case. I don't remember what I paid but AmmoSeek.com is great at finding the lowest price on ammo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schutzhund Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I dont know if you have them in the US but i like Baschieri&Pellagri active slugs and target slugs. The active slugs have a coating of somesort to prevent lead fouling and they are cheap to buy at 0.75 usd a piece. https://www.baschieri-pellagri.com/en/catalogo_tiro/cartucce+da+tiro/1/1/12.aspx (cant link them directly but here is the list of competition cartridges from B&P) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhodesengr Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Target Rounds for trap or Sporting Clays. Federal Top Gun, Remington Gun Club, etc. Typically comes in 7.5,8, and 9 birdshot. $6-$10 per box of 25. Find a local Trap range and shoot there. More fun I think than shooting static targets. Even if you have a short barrel tactical style, you can still shoot trap. You won't hit as many maybe. I see guys with all manner of tactical versions showing up to function their guns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClackClackBAM Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Appreciate the suggestion! I used to shoot trap with my 725 Citori so I'll probably avoid taking the M4 out there, but the SBE3 would do a good job. Plus give me some tracking practice for when I eventually go duck hunting with it. I'll probably use those loads for plinking around though. They generally destroy a soda bottle pretty well haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
