My 870 smooth bore with rifle sights, shoots the Remington Sluggers very well. 40 yards would be no issue for me with that combo. I have not used it for deer yet as I mostly bow hunt, but I have took it out to the range plenty. I put 3 slugs into the bulls eye at 25 yards, after i tuned it in. I can hit a pie plate consistently at 70 yards.

Dannyboy are they just called Remington slugs. I want to try some.

It's called marksmanship and the understand of anatomy. More shooters need to master it and develop an understand of anatomy.

I can not believe the number of people that hunt, but have no interest external Ballistics or the anatomy of the animals they hunt.

Head cheese is out of the question..

Not much room for error. The camp next to us almost completely blew the bottum jaw off a cow moose at a very close range while trying a headshot. That animal was never recovered.

That would mean that they passed up a broadside shot to the heart and lungs or an anchoring shot to the spine. Seems you have surrounded yourself with idiots with little or no marksmanship skills. There is a kill zone on the side of a moose's head equal to a butter Squash, while the kill zone for a heart and lung shot is a good sized watermelon. From the front or rear the kill zone for a head shot is only as big as a base ball( not a soft ball, a base ball).

But maybe you are going to tell us it was because they were using buckshot and not the magical slug?

Seriously? From the one who argues a high shoulder shot wont put a whitetail down everytime? Is it hard to understand that it was a neighboring camp?? I did not know the shooter personally We were simply told to keep an eye out for this animal. I would never attempt a headshot on a big game for this reason. Thanks for your expertise. Lol

Why are you trying to antagonize people ? I thought that subject was finished on another thread.
