RE: Hornady slugs out of an 870
i have an 870 and these were terrible all over the paper.
I have the short rifled barrel so what i have heard is that they do not shoot slugs that are 1800 + fps well.
anything over 50 yards was 6 to 8 inches off. I tried two different days so it was not me.
My gun shoots the federal and buckhammers the best ....I heard the same thing. at 12 dollars for 5 shots I would save your money

All I can say is, try them inyour 870. They shoot great out of my Nova 12ga and my 13yo son's 870 20ga. He took a doe with one4 weeks ago. One shot, one kill. Here I can get the SST's for about $2 less per pack than most of the other sabots.
