Default RE: Need help with 12 ga slugs!

ORIGINAL: Champlain Islander

I haven't been impressed with the Lightfields. Quite a few of my hunting buddies use them and for the life of me I can't figure out why. They are large slow loads and I don't see where they can compare to a 1900 feet per second premium slug. One shot kills are rare for my friends who use the Lightfields. I suspect the problem might be just what you pointed out about bullet break up. I have 4 boxes of the Winnie Gold Partitions left butI plan on trying the Federal Barnes product on the range this summer to see how they fly.
Now here is where there is another difference of opinion lol. I saw first hand lightfields dropping 4 different deer with one shot. 3 were spine shots and the 4th was a double lung shot. The spines dropped immedietely and the double lung ran 30 yards and dropped.
