spcfoor Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 What kind of slugs would you all use for a 20-gauge smoothbore shotgun? It was my first gun and I would like to take a deer with it but I haven't shot it in almost 10 years and dont have any old slugs to compare new ones with.

Guest bigalt78 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 just buy a cheap box of regular slugs not sabbots i usually shoot remington i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Yea,any 20 gauge rifled slug should work just fine.I would buy a few different brands and see which one shoots the best for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Give Brenneke slugs a try. I use them in my Remington 16 ga. smooth bore and it's a real tack driver. Be sure to get the original magum slugs and not one of their sabots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohiobucks Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Give Brenneke slugs a try. Another vote for Brenneke's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowtech_archer07 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 I've shot Brenneke's and didn't have any luck at all. I shoot Winchester slugs and have great success. They are out of a rifled barrel though. Like everyone said, buy a few boxes of different brands and see which ones shoot the best out of that gun. Every gun will shoot a slug different, just have to see which type shoot best out of your gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganHunter Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 GOOD, I love these kind of Posts cause this is something i know about...lol.....OK so dont go out and buy expensive sabbots because u dont have a rifled barrel so they will make NO noticible difference with your gun,.....You want to shoot a traditional style slug...like the remington slugger, or the federal traditional slugs, u want a full boar sized slug with rifling cut on the side of it...this rifling will aid in causing the bullet to twist wile traveling down the barrel and give u a better pattern, my dad fires remington sluggers and has take deer accuratly out to 80yards or so out of his smoth bore 12 gage.
