ranchand99 Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 I've been reading that they like Winchester platinum tips,barnes expanders,lightfields,remingtons...etc.You guys know how expensive it can be.Which of these would you try first?I really wanted to try the Winchester Partition gold,but I'm not getting good reviews.Most people have said their H&R 12ga Ultra slug likes slower(less than 1700fps)sabots.HELP!!Thanks guys!I'm more confused than ever.

Guest deldeer Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Re: H&R users,Which Shell? try the remington solid copper sabots, then try the federal sabots, they are pretty reasonable on price.. then try the federal barnes expanders.. they cost a little more, i get the same group out of the remington solids, & the federal barnes expanders..i use 2 3/4 only..the longest shot was 150 yards.right in the boilermaker!!!( with the remington solids) just remember all guns shoot all rounds different.. hope this is a good starting point for you..

WNY_Whitetailer Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Re: H&R users,Which Shell? I use the Winchester Partition Golds with good results...You might want to start with Lightfields first though. I've heard a majority of guys use them with excellent results...I plan on trying some out too in my Ultra Slugger... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Re: H&R users,Which Shell? Tailor your loads to your hunting conditions. If you hare hunting thicker areas where all of the shots will be under 100 yards, you don't need a super fast slug. Any slug will work fine. Keep it simple, use what will work. You don't need to get fancy just to be fancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranchand99 Posted July 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Re: H&R users,Which Shell? I'm really wanting to use Winchesters.I think I'll try the platinums,then the partition golds later on.Thanks for the help guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 2500HD Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Re: H&R users,Which Shell? Lightfields are all I use in it. When tested they grouped the best by far. I was hold groups of 3 that you can cover with a silver dollar at 100 yards so that good enough for me. You owe it to yourself and the game to see what works best out of YOUR gun at the range.

ranchand99 Posted August 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Re: H&R users,Which Shell? you're right,but as much as they cost I want to weed a few out.I think I'm going to buy a box of those lightfields,partition golds,and a box of platinum tips.Thanks again guys!
