Wondering how far can slug shot can go?

Chris

What are u shooting and what length of barell and type of round. Some slug guns with a scope could reach 100yds.

I have Mossberg 835 Ultra Mag pump action. Will get 28in slug barrel. Will be hunting deer.

My H&R Ultra 12ga can reach out to at least 150yds

Just an estimate here.

If you are shooting parallel to the ground from the shoulder, standing, your barrel will be approximately 5 feet off the ground. We'll assume no "Kentucky windage" for this equation.

Brenneke 12 gauge, 3-inch Gold Magnum lists 1.5" drop at 100 yards. Probobly something like 18" drop at 200 yards (my estimate). Probobly in the dirt by 300/350 yards.

If ya aimed at the sky a bit I don't think 500 yards would be out of question, by accuracy certainly would be.

i have the same gun and shoot winchester platinum series 2 3/4 slugs. i have open sites and wouldnt be afraid to shoot a deer at 100 to 125yrds. as long as it is standing still. shoot great with those slugs but they are a little expensive. killed 2 doe last year one at 30 yrs running broad side and the other at 85 to 90 yrds standing looking at me. hit her right in the chest where i aimed the gun. she droped liek a rock.
