johnf Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Re: what slugs The most accurate ones. Get a box of every kind you can find, shoot them all and whatever patterns the best, those are the best ones. Every gun is different. Don't worry much about performance. They are all nearly and oz of lead, if you hit it in the right spot, it will die. Hitting it is the key and only accuracy and practice can do that. Also I've found that 2 3/4" shells are more accurate than the 3 or 3 1/2" magnums, save your shoulder and shoot smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] LOL, that would be pretty expensive I shot 2 3/4" Federals out of my 11-87 with great results. Try some till you are happy too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Re: what slugs I have had the best accuracy with 2 3/4" slugs over the 3" slugs. Slightly more velocity is worthless if it does not connect with the target. The added recoil is also not a benefit. As to which slug, like the others have said, it depends on the gun. Lightfield slugs are very popular as are Brenneke. The Hornady slugs with the SST bullet look interesting. Get a box of a few different types and see what your gun likes. Remember that the limited range of the slug gun does not need MOA accuracy. Even with the modern sabots, 150 yards is about tops, so 4" groups at 100 yards is more than good enough for deer hunting.

TexasDeerHunter Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Re: what slugs I have never hunted with slugs , but I did shoot a few through my gun. The Remington Copper Solid slug seemed to perform well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_218 Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Re: what slugs I use Remington "Buckhammer" sabots and they seem to shoot well in my 20 gauge Browning Gold. Also Lighfields shoot well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierbuck Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Re: what slugs As I mentioned to Swampy, who is also looking for new slugs, I had great success with Remington Core-Lokt Ultra 2 3/4" saboted slugs in my rifled bore gun.

Guest littlered Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Re: what slugs i would highly suggest against the 12 gauge remington buckhammers they are very front heavy and i got horrible accuracy from them red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
