NEF Ultra Slugster
 

Just bought one and was wondering what load people are shooting in there slug guns and what kind of damage they did;)

RE: NEF Ultra Slugster
 

I have seen them shoot most slugs well, from Lightfields to SST's. My buddies seem to all use the remington bonded slugs in theirs.

I have one in 20ga. what a track driver and a pleasure to shoot. I'm using HORNADY SSTs

RE: NEF Ultra Slugster
 

I also have a 20 gauge and with Lightfields it will shoot one hole at 50 yards. But that is all I have shot thru it. Going to try some SST's and see how they do before next year. For the money they can't be beat.

I really wanted to get one of those but decided on my Mossberg Combo. My dads got one and that thing is a friggin tack driver. He uses Barnes Expanders and he is going to try the new Tipped Expanders. I've used everything from Remington Sluggers and Barnes expanders to SSt's and the new Tipped Expanders in my slug barrel, they all grouped well.

Lightfields! Lightfields! Lightfields!

If I was going out to buy a new slug gun to add to the three I all ready have I'd take a hard look at those USH in 20 gauge. I'll be watching this thread just to see how everyone else likes theirs.

I shoot Remington solid copper slugs in my 11-87 with a Hastings slug barrel. I've killed 2 deer this year with it. The solid copper slugs left big entrance and exit holes through both rib cages. Both deer ran less than 20 yards. The coppers shoot real tight groups in my gun.

I have one in a 20 ga and love it. I shoot Remmington Core-Lokt. At 50yd it shot through the same hole, 100yd 1 1/4 inch groups, and playing around at 150 I could almost hit a pie plate consistently. And as for the knock-down power, absolutely brutal. The first buck I shot I hit directly in the heart from about 70yd. When opened up his chest, his heart fell out in 3 pieces. Never had one run over 25yd shooting these. The best part about the gun is that I have less than $400 in the gun and scopetogether.Great gun, great slug!!!!

Well I got a box of lightfield slugs with the gun... So it sounds like I got the right load;)It's the 2 3/4 load with a chunk of lead that is over 500gr "WOW" it's traveling like 1450 fps... Cant wait to drill a deer right in the shoulder with this beast!!!! I put a Bushnell Trophy 3x9x40 on it... Gun looks good!!!

RE: NEF Ultra Slugster
 

I just got in from killing a spike, using the 12 gauge2 3/4 Remington Solid Coppers. The slug went throught both shoulders at about 45 yards. Dropped him right in his tracks. I think you will be happy with the load you chose and sounds like you picked a great scope also. Good Luck and be safe.

Hopefully I'll be letting the air out of a deer in Jan with it

You're talking about my most favorable gun in my safe.

I have a 12 Gauge H&R Ultra Slug and have never missed with this gun to date. Knock on wood.

Here is what I have done to be successful hunting in an area that allows for long range shots.

Sighting In:
I sighted my H&R in with zero wind in a vice for 3 inches high at 100 yards

At 150 yards my gun is zero -I aim dead onand am very lethal at this range.

Ammo:
I use Hornady SST's going 2000 fps with 6.5 inch drop at 200 yards.

A must have for long range shots:
I use a Nikon Range Finder. I need the range finder for shots past 150 yards when my bullet is decending. It's like throwing a baseball. Understand this gun and how it acts and you will harvest ever animal that walks in your path. It's all about confidence.

DO NOT
Do not go cheap on a scope for this gun. The H&R Ultra Slug wants you to push it to the limit. I'm running a 2X7 Leopold on mine. I want a 3X9 for it but I'm afraid to move anything.

Here is a group at 100 yards with my H&R. I took a doe at 218 yards this year with mine. Nikon Range Finder and placed the cross hairs on the spine with low wind conditions. Good Luck!!

read my posting on the SST's Good Luck!

RE: NEF Ultra Slugster
 

Love the Lightfields!

BUT... HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY if he is looking at 150+ yard shots. The H&R wants us to take it past 150 yards! Good Luck!

RE: NEF Ultra Slugster
 

My best gun in my safe..but she is Heavy. I shot a 42 inch bull moose with mine in 2001. I used Lightfields then. What a story that was....

RE: NEF Ultra Slugster
 

The lightfields in the front shoulder just dumps them.....And I literally mean dumps!
