johnf Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Re: What\'s Your Favorite Shotgun Slug???????? No rifled barrel here. The best shooting out of my Nova is the winchester 2 3/4 rifled slugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugshooter Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Re: What\'s Your Favorite Shotgun Slug???????? Rottweil Original Brenneke, accurate and deadly. I have also taken a deer down with a Brenneke K.O. 12 ga slug, not as accurate but it sure knocked him flatter than a pancake. I took my first deer with one of the K.O.'s and the deer fell like he got hit by a truck. Both are rifled slugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAbowhunter4life Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Re: What\'s Your Favorite Shotgun Slug???????? Remington 870 Express Mag w/ fully rifled barrel. She likes Winchester Super X Sabots, 3" or 2 3/4" the best. At 50 yards she is dead center, 2" high and 3 shots become one big hole. At 100 yards they are still dead center and about 5" low, and it's probably a 3" group or so. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Re: What\'s Your Favorite Shotgun Slug???????? Been saying for the past 2 or 3 years that I am going to try using my 1300 with with the rifled choke tube on deer in this one particular spot I hunt where it is short range hunting, maybe this will be the year.

Randyman Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Re: What\'s Your Favorite Shotgun Slug???????? I shoot both a Remington Sportsman 12 pump with a fully rifled barrel and an 870 Express with a smooth barrel. I shoot Winchester Foster style slugs out of both with good results. My hunting style, and the areas i hunt, keep shots inside of 50 yards, and often much closer, and the big .729" slugs are devastating at these ranges. The accuracy of the foster style slug suffers out past this range when compared to a lot of others, but i can honestly say that of the dozen or so deer i have shot with them, none have went more than 30 yards, and most drop in their tracks. They kill like the Hammer of Thor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ILclimber Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Re: What\'s Your Favorite Shotgun Slug???????? I shoot a Remington 870 mag w/ no rifled barrel, I do still shoot iron sights cause at 21 yrs i think my eyes are still pretty good. But, Federal slugs is my brand of choice.
