Shot gun slugs
I am hunting whitetail for the first time this year using a shot gun. I purchased a rifled slug barrel and was wondering what slug works best.
I have been studying ballistics and the Winchester Partition Gold or the XP3 slugs look like winners, expensive but are they worth it?

Hornady SST is the most accurate for my shotgun. Taken lots of deers with them up to 500ft.

Some good choices to look at- Federal Partition, Remington cor loc, Lightfields [one of my favorites]. The other slugs that I have no problem using, are Challengers. Don't say it guys !!, They work just fine! I haven't tried them at 200 yds. but I don't need to.

I 've had good luck with the challengers as well, but out of a smoothbore slug barrel on a Rem 870. Just picked up a Rem 11-87 slug gun with a smoothbore barrel and will likely use them for this gun as well. B525

Beeing 1:36 twist in that gun keep to the slower side of slug's / sabots.

Your best bet is to buy a few different brands and take them to the range as each one will shoot a little differently out of your gun. Sabots are expensive yes, but worth it if range and accuracy are important to you.

I try would try winchester rackmasters slug or copper solids from remington. Both are slower slugs.

Buddy of mine has good luck with fusions out of the same gun.
How is it one careless cigarette can cause a forest fire, but it takes a whole box of matches to light a campfire?
