RE: Lightfield Slugs
I have a mossberg 695 with a leupold vx-II 1-4x20 and I don't have a clue about the wether my SG is a 1/24, 1/28 or whatever...What I do know is that this gun loves Lightfield slugs. I use 2 3/4" slugs and have shot at three deer and have had three 1 shot 1 kills.
Doe #1--2005. 55 yards shot on the right shoulder...quartering towards me slightly. Hit her hard and spun her upside down...she bounced about 15 feet away from my inital hit. Complete pass thru...but didn't need it.
Doe #2--2006. 10-15 yards on top of the shoulder. Hit the doe and she litterally hit the ground with all four legs pointing in different directions. From there she did a back flip somehow climbed back to her feet and fell 20 yards away. Round hit the top of the left shoulder and did not pass thru...again a passthru was not needed.
Button Buck (deer #3)--2006. This buck was traveling with the doe and ran about 70 yards away. Came back to 60 yards and was looking at the doe. Had a quartering away towards shot and took it. Hit about the 2nd rib back and out the right rear quarter...just before the ham. BB went 30-35 yards from impact and died in my sight. Passthru, but again not needed. Didn't even look at the blood trail as I could see the deer from the ground when I got out of the tree.
All total time for Deer #2, and 3 was 1-2 minutes. With this round I haven't had the need for passthru's, blood trails etc. Also, my grouping with these rounds, and my 695 mossberg is about 2" at 100 yards. At 50 I'll get a big hole. I think the mossberg 695 and the lightfield round were literally made for each other.
