tedicast Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 I finally got my slug barrel for my Encore. What an awesome feeling gun. So much less clunky than my 870's. Even with a 24" barrel, compared to the 21" barrel on the 870's, the Encore is a full 3 inches shorter. Can't wait for my ProStaff 3X9X40 to come next week. I thing with the lightness of the gun, it isn't gonna be fun to shoot from the bench. What is everyones favorite sabot 12 gauge slug? I'm gonna get my hands on a couple boxes of everything I can find, before I go to the range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll consistantly poke clover leaf groups at 50yds. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told some guns will like the 3" better. I think with the added recoil of the 3" I will negate any accuracy obtained by using them...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangunnr Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Re: Encore Slug Barrel I shoot the 2-3/4" through my gun. I was really wanting to use one of the super hot rounds ( Win. Partition, Rem. Copper solids or Bonded core) but they just wouldn't shoot acceptable groups. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted January 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Re: Encore Slug Barrel Cool.. I have no intention of even trying 3 inchers. Can't wait to see how it shoots. I'm gonna pick up some slugs this week, and hopefully get out in the next couple weeks with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
