unioncountyslayer Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Thanks to alot of help from you guys, I purchased a H&R Super SlugHunter with the Deluxe Heavy Barrel. I have read that a lot of you guys use Lightfield slugs in the H & R or whatever fully rifled shotgun you have. For those of you that shoot Lightfield, my question is which type is better, the Hybrid or Commander slug. Not too sure of the difference so wanted to get some opinions. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 2500HD Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Re: Lightfield Slugs ? I shoot 2-3/4" Hybrids out of mine but have no experience with the Commander line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unioncountyslayer Posted January 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Re: Lightfield Slugs ? Why the 2-3/4's and not 3"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Re: Lightfield Slugs ? [ QUOTE ] Why the 2-3/4's and not 3"? [/ QUOTE ] Typically, the 2 3/4" slugs are more accurate than the 3" versions. Extra velocity is useless if you can't hit your target. The extra recoil is not that much fun too.

tedicast Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Re: Lightfield Slugs ? I also shoot 2 3/4 Hybrids from my fully rifled Encore. Of all the slgs I tested they were by far the most accurate from my gun. [ QUOTE ] Why the 2-3/4's and not 3"? [/ QUOTE ] honestly?...I don't think the added recoil is worth it. Any deer you hit in the vitals with a slug is a dead deer. The deer isn't gonna know if it was shot with a 2 3/4, or a 3". In my experience there is a pretty substatial increase in recoil when shooting 3", thought I haven't shot 3" Hybrids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_218 Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Re: Lightfield Slugs ? I use Lightfield's Hybrids in my 20 gauge Browning Gold, and they seem to perform better than Winchester Supreme Golds. I tried both, and while they were both accurate, the Lightfield's seem to expand more than the Winchester Sabot. The winchester bullet was recovered, from a target, with little expansion while the Lightfield expanded twice it's diameter and mushroomed well.

Tominator Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Re: Lightfield Slugs ? The Lightfields I have used in the past were the Hybrid 2 3/4" variety, and they patterned almost as good as the Winchester Mag. 3" I used the 2 3/4" because, back then, the 3" wasn't out yet.

RangerClay Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Re: Lightfield Slugs ? My best friend shoots the 2 3/4" Lightfields and has incredible accuracy. I am not sure which slug he uses but they have blue hulls. Ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unioncountyslayer Posted January 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Re: Lightfield Slugs ? Just picked up 2 boxes of the 2-3/4" Hybrids. I'll head out this weekend to site it in. Target pics to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Re: Lightfield Slugs ? I found the 2 3/4 Federal Primiums were much more accurate than the 3" in my 11-87. too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
