RE: Which deer slugs do you prefer?
Just some constructive criticism...
If you you are going to have a poll it should at least provide some useful results. The options you have listed willprovide rather inconclusive information.
The pollreally needs to betwo parts. First whether a person uses rifled slugs, or sabots. Then a second poll should give specific options for each group.
The poll you have listed won't provide much insight into what folks are shooting. For example, you have one choice for Remington sabot. Unfortunately Rem makes two different sabots that each have different charectoristics. The same is true for their rifled slugs. They make 5 different rifled slugs all of which shoot very differently.
For example I would have recommended the following choices for Sabots.
Winchester Partion gold
Winchester Platinum tipped
Remmington Core Lokt
Remmington Copper solid
Lightfield IDS
Lightfield Commander
Brenneke
Federal Barnes Exander
Hornady SST
Other
In response to your original poll however, I use only sabot ammunition. Specifically only Remington Core Lokts, although I have tested all of the sabots mention above except the Hornady SST's which hornady is currently having production problems with.

Another vote for Lightfield sabot slugs. They give me the best accuracy out to 125 yards. The lighter faster sabots shoot ok out to 150, but I will accept a 25 yard loss, and have better accuracy. And their is no way a rifled slug is as accurate at 125 yards than these things.

Maybe in your gun, but not mine. At least not the ones I tried. Mine will shoot standard 1750 fps winchester rifled slugs around 1 inch groups at 100 yards, I can't see the extra 25 yards being much worse.

I've triem them all and my gun prefers the Hevi-shot slugs. They are hard to find. Hastings were all over, as were the new remington slugs. I think it depends on the gun. My buddy was shooting next to me and the Remingtons were best in his. We were both shooting 870's, his a rem barrel, and mine a hastings.
