20 ga Slug Recommendation
 
I just purchased a 20 ga Remington 870 Express with a rifled barrel and a cantilever scope mount. Can anyone recommend a deer slug that works well with this setup?

Thanks

This shotgun's rate of twist isn't fast, you may get better results from slugs as Lightfields, and/or Buckhammers. I notice that Lightfields seem to work well in most shotguns

Hornady SSTs have worked for me. Shoot real good 2 inch groups at 100 yards, Bang flopped a 8 pt last year. at about 40 yards.

I love Barnes Bullets in Federal, but I would try a multiple loads and shoot what's best out of your gun!

Just read an article in NRA and the article shows the new Remington Premier AccuTip slug shooting very good out of the rifled barreled870 they tested. 23" barrel 1:35" twist.
