I picked up 2 boxes of Challengers from Accuracy Plus in Peterborough, ON last weekend. Looks like a regularly stocked item. Made in Quebec.

What do the slugs look like. Are they a typical foster type slug with the rifling in the lead? Do they have any stabilzation attached. What type of groups are you getting from a smooth bore at 100 yards? Thanks.

The Challengers use a "gualandi" style slug. They are similar to the brenneke in that the wad is screwed to the base.

A quick google will tell you all you want to know about "gualandi" type slugs.

Great info. Look like a real good alternative to the Brenneke. Very much the
same desing idea. Anyone know where these are sold in or near Calgary or Edmonton. Would like to give these a try in my Drilling.
 
RWS (Rottweil) uses Gualandi slug in its Exact line. I bought a ton of Rottweil 3" Exact magnum (I believe North Sylva imported them), which is the Rottweil's slug with the most energy. It shoots very well in all my shotguns.

Good luck with getting a timely reply out of North Sylvia! I tried to purchase a couple of Steyr rifles from them a few years ago, and after being told they were ordered and coming soon..... I cancelled the order after a year and a half. No wonder Steyr rifles arent popular over here.

Back to the original question regarding Challenger Slugs, they are available at Stirling Cross in the lower mainland. I purchased a few boxes last week for about $15 per 10 rds, 12 gauge 2 3/4. Velocity quoted on the box is suppose to be over 1600 fps with a 1 1/8 ounce slug! Impressive!
 
Hub Sports in Abbotsford ordered a couple of boxes for me ages ago when Roger still owned it. Maybe the new owner could do the same.

Still have 20 rounds of it in the ammo cabinet.

No. The original question is whether North Sylva is actually the distributor for RWS.

Start your own thread about challengers. No need to hijack the thread.

LOL, Not interested in hijacking anyone's thread, just trying to help the OP find something that he can actually use in his shotgun this year!

For anyone that was interested the Challenger slugs from Sterling, her is the broken link. As mentioned by other posters, they are NOT RWS, but use the same type of slug. And they are available.
