Patterned Rifled Slugs Today!

[mosinmaster]

I shot 3 brands, Remington Reduced Recoil, Federal Reduced Recoil, and Federal regular 1 oz slugs.

I'm confused which brand I should go with. I had one flyer with the Federal reduced recoils at 25 meters. And for some reason I kept pulling the shots at 50 meters. I was shooting IC choke out of a Mossberg 500. I'm leaning towards the Federal Reduced Recoil or Remington Reduced Recoil slugs. What do you guys recommend?

At 25m, I shot 3 slugs each, and at 50m I shot 2 slugs each.

50 meters:

I haven't tried reduced loads but have never had luck with the others. Buy rio star or challengers. Great and very accurate

Whatever shoots best for your shotgun, with that 3/4inch chunk of lead for deer.
Myself I rarely stray from winchester fosters or brennekes.
At least you are testing them beforehand.

Shot my very first deer today. Black-tail doe. 20 yards, Federal reduced recoil 1oz slug at 20 yards using Mossberg 500 and bead sights!

It never fails to amaze me how big those holes are!

Man, nothing takes them down at close range like a slug.

What is the 'caliber' of a 12 gauge slug? Somewhere in the .69'' area right?

I am issued low recoil shotgun ammo and I don't really have much use for it. I have found the low recoil buckshot especially underpowered on things like wild boars, coyotes, etc. Imperial SSG was dynamite on anything, as was the Imperial 7/8 oz extra long range slugs we used to carry. They hit like freight trains.

Today, I really like Winchester Power Point slugs. I cannot get over how accurate they are and I get an honest 1650 fps (as per my chrony) out of a smooth bore slug barrel (duty shotgun). The Challenger slugs are also great, but I don't have the experience with them to back anything up.
