Default RE: Fellow slug gun hunters, need input

The 20ga sabot slugs are actually quite impressive. I had no idea that they look that good in terms of trajectory, and energy. I checked out the ballistics for these.

Federal
Barnes Expander 2 3/4" 273gr
+1.9"@50 0.00"@100 -2.8"@125

Barnes Expander 3" 273gr
+1.2"@50 0.00"@100 -1.9"@125

Hornady
SST 250gr Not sure on length?
+2.5"@ 50 +3.3"@100 0.00"@150
Hopefully they group better than they do in 12ga.

Winchester
Partition Gold 2 3/4" 280gr
+2.2"@50 +2.9"@100 -1.9"@125
Partition Gold 3" 280gr
+0.7"@50 0.00"@100 -1.5"@125

Remington
Core-Lokt Ultra bonded
2 3/4" 260gr No ballistics given
Copper solid
2 3/4" 5/8oz No ballistics given

Lightfield
Hybred EXP 2 3/4" 385gr
+2.01"@50 0.00"@100 -3.62"@125


Out of all of these rounds, one should group well. And all are perfectly capable out to 125 yeards, and some out to 150.

And the Ultra Slug Hunter is looking better and better. 8 Pounds in the 20ga model, and with a scope it should be pushing 9 pounds. And that should be plenty easy on my noggin. Thanks again for everyones input, it is greatly appreciated.
