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.

Hopefully they group better than they do in 12ga.

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.
