RE: Need Help With Encore Slug Barrel Grouping *UPDATED WITH PIC*
Winchester Supreme
Partition Gold® Slug
385 Gr. OZ #SABOT SLUG
Product Symbol: SSP12
Shell Length: 2-3/4 Velocity: 1900 fps @ 3 ft.
Powder Dram Equiv: N/A Shot Size: Sabot
Mossberg 695, Bolt action with Leupold VXIII 2.5x8.
Zero at 150 yards with 2.5" or better groups from a bench rest.
These shells are very spendy. Use a cheaper sabot to get you on the paper with your scope and then a box of these to dailing in.
My father and I have been using this setup for 4 years and have killed over 40 deer between the two of us.
Every single deer that was hit correctly in either the head, neck or vitals ran less than 20 yards. Most fold up right where they stand. (some were shot while running and thus the shot placements where such that they ran a bit furter).
My Dad is a better shot than I and likes head and neck shots.
This 385GR round along with the 400GR version are real buck busters adn very accurate.
There is 6 others that slug-gun hunt with my Dad and I in our private club here in Michigan and they have all switched to either the Partition Gold 385GR, 23/4 or Platinum Tip 400GR 23/4. We are all knocking the daylights out of deer with these rounds.
