was wondering if anyone knew where best place to get lowest cost ammo? was loking at dead coyote hevi-shot and 22-250 ammo.cheaper than dirt looked the best so far.
most ammo and which one is easier to aim
Let’s say I have a 12 gauge, Mossberg 590 and I’m fighting in close range combat. What would be the best ammo for killing my enemy from 1-30 yards?
P.S.- I’m not planning to kill anyone, I’m just curious 
I saw it on exhibition shooting on the history channel and wanted to kinda show off to my friends when we go hunting this weekend. They used a shotgun and a milk jug of some sort of fuel, but I don’t know what they used for fuel, for the ammo, or the distance.
I just thought there might be enough compression if you use diesel or something, but Ive herad of other exhibition shooters doing this before. maybe they had an ignition source.
Just bought a mossberg 88 and was wondering do I need to change the choke if I want to use different ammo. I know I can only shoot 2/ 3/4 shells but I dont no anyhitng about chokes..can someone help me. Im intrested in going turkey hunting and was curious as to what ammo to use.
Thank you
My first shotgun – for home protection.
What ammo should I get ?
i already have a S&W 686, Glock 23, Sig P220 and Glock 17…
Ok.. I know must of you say that pump is better then semi shotguns for home defense, but I still have concerns…
1) Under stressful conditions, I’m more afraid of short shucking a pump. I know I can practice, but who knows how you react in a true life/death scenario. I think that "I" might be more reliable, if all I have to do is keeping pulling a trigger, instead of having to chamber a round between each shot.. Thoughts??
2) Does anyone know the reliability of the Mossberg 930 SPX? How often does it jam with good ammo?
3) Does anyone have any real statistics on how often the average semi-auto jams?
Thanx!
I have been looking at mossberg 835 ultra-mag tactical turkey shotgun, and i don’t want to just only shoot turkey loads out of it, i would like to be able to hunt deer, partridge, and or waterfowl, but i don’t know if i can shoot any other type of ammo out of it, i know you cant shoot a slug threw it while the choke is in it but im not sure if you can shoot another type of ammo out of it.
I am trying to decide which gun would make for a better home defense gun.
I guess the pros/cons would be:
semi-auto handgun:
pros:
-Very light and easy to pick up and use.
-Easy to swing around quickly and point in different directions quickly etc (useful in close quarter situations).
-Can fire a lot of ammo quickly (semi-auto)
cons:
-Not as visually intimidating
-Not as audibly intimidating
-If your shot misses, it misses.
Pump action shotgun:
Pros:
-Very visually/audibly intimidating
-Extremely powerful at close range
-When you miss, you often still hit, since it sprays a big bluster of lead, instead of just one single bullet, when you fire a shot.
Cons:
-Heavy and awkward
-Tougher to swing around and aim quickly than the pistol
-Can’t fire rounds off as quickly (need to pump after each shot)
So which do you guys think makes for a better home defense gun?
P.S. I’m 6′1 220lbs, so kick is a non-issue for me on this topic.
I want something under 0 with a black synthetic frame. Also, how much does the ammo go for?
My aunts chickens are being killed by hawks. I want to know what the best ammo for getting rid of them.

Hello. I would like to get involved in clay shooting but I am a complete beginner. I’ve never even held a shotgun before. I am English.
I know there are two different types of double-barrel gun; over and under/ side by side. I will need the former for clay shooting I believe.
I have a couple of questions, I’d be very grateful for any help…
With these double-barrel guns, is it possible to fire both barrels at the same time…or can you only shoot one after the other?
I am a fit 22yr old lad, average build, with fairly limited funds but not a shoelace budget. What sort of gun should I look at buying, assuming I get on well with my first couple of goes? I know the club will advise me but I’m just eager to start looking through the catalogues! What gauge/ set up etc, and what ammo type or size?
Cheers!
They aren’t that accurate and have limited ammo capacity. Also, buckshot won’t penetrate body armor.
What model shotgun is literally the best bang for your buck that is most effective at short range?
What ammo should be purchased with it?
Please give as many details as possible.
I have home defense in mind.
and hunting.
