Default RE: shotgun slugs

REDLINE,
I do not have specific experience withthat brand, but for purposes of clarity, you may want to mention whether you are shooting a smoothbore shotgun with rifled slugs, or a rifled-barrel shotgun with sabot slugs. You'll get better responses.

Whatever your setup, I have to agree that trying several different ammo types is the key to getting the most out of your gun, especially with shotgun slugs. When I bought my Rem870 rifled gun, I took 5 brands to the range and, after sighting in with some cheap ammo, compared the 5. It was very enlightening to see the difference. Some were very consistent, and others werebarely ableto keep a group on aplate at 50 yards.

Also, be aware that the gun/ammo match is only for a specific gun. Different guns of the same make and model can prefer different ammo.

Good luck with your new venture.
