Default RE: Lightfield Slugs

I have tried the SST rounds. My GUn is a Rem. 1100 3" Mag with a Hastings paradox toped with a Burris 2 3/4 X scope on it. It was my dads Gun and I got it after he died. He got the gun in 1987 and it has been a great der gun.

I have it sited in with Lightfoields and Breeneke golder rounds. The breenekee rounds I have never recovred as they have passed thru deer at 100 yards and under. That is with shooting both sholders out. I went to bass poo to buy some more Breenekes and they dont carry them anymore( Boo on bass poo).

While the sst is a great round and shoots alot faster than my Breenkees I noticed that the SST hit 7" high and my Brennke was hitting right on at 55 yards(Rangefinder) While the SST is shooting that fuch faster I think its a great round.

While it cost alot to shoot If I was to swap out my scope ever I might start Use the SST.

The only thing is I am a fan of large rounds. I still prefer to use the largest round for max knockdown. Sure all slugs work great if you aim right. So for now I like the Light field for under 50 yards and the Brenekee for out to 130 yards.
