Recoil of Slug Guns
Does anyone know where you can find foot/pounds of recoil for slug guns? There are very nice charts for rifles but I' d like to see how a slug gun compares to some of the bigger rifles. I know a guy who shoots a slug gun and says that it makes the 300 Weatherby feel like a BB gun.

I shot some Rem. 2 3/4" 1 oz. slugs out of my Moss. 500. The recoil pushed me back, but was not too bad. Go buy some slugs and find out for yourself!! It sure is fun!

RE: Recoil of Slug Guns
Well for NJ you have to use a shotgun for rifle season so I got out my ruger red label over and under as its my only shotgun and put 3" 000 buck shot 00 buck shot too and shot about 20 rounds. Well I have a huge black and blue on my shoulder /arm area. I much rather shoot my 338 win mag any day of the week.

RE: Recoil of Slug Guns
Your such a stud slugman with that 20lb sluggun.
As far as the rest, I have a few slugguns. If its a pump and around 7 to 8lbs like 870' s and mossbergs, yea, its goin to give ya a whallop. More than a 338RUM. But I got me a browning gold semi. That really takes the bite out of them. With the Semi action in conjuction with a good recoil pad that comes on a gold, it tames it down to a 300Win mag or less with 3" shells.

RE: Recoil of Slug Guns
More than a 338 RUM is a pretty good amount of recoils. I feel bad for the kids in the shotgun only zones. That' s a lot of recoil for a 12 year old. I never shot slugs off of the bench before. I' ve only hunted with rifled slugs from a smoothbore double barrel. I' m shooting a 300Wby now and I think that has a decent amount of push.
