Default RE: REM 870 SLUG OF CHOICE

it depends on the twist of your barrel, the fancy new high velocity slugs are very picky, i shoot an 870WM with a hastings 24" cantilever barrel (1:34 twist) the SST's wont group onto a pie plate @ 50 yards.... best to have a 1:28 twist barrel for the faster slugs ( MV>1600fps). I would recommend the buckhammers or hastings slugs, as they both have an attached sabot and are VERY accurate. ( 1" groups @ 50 yards) brenneke golds are good as well but the will foul the bore with lead fairly fast
