Default RE: new core lokt shotgun slugs

Hello
I shot one box of them at the range, hardly enough to get any hard results about them. I shot those along with Winchester sabots,(gold I believe), and Federal Premium with the Barnes Expander.
I shot them out of a Rem. 870 with a 24" rifled hastings barrel with muzzlebrake and their new controlled sabot discard.
I went with the Federals because they grouped good and I've heard alot of good things about the barnes bullets that are in the federals. At the range these give me a solid three inch group at 100 yards. I shot two shells at 200 yards (just to see what they'd do) and they were within one inch of each other. However they were 10 inches low. (impact at 100 was 3 inches high).
I think its like getting a muzzleloader set up, you need to feed if different types to see what it likes. But at about $2.40 a shot it'll lighten your pocketbook.

Happy Hunting
Dan
