Range day and slugs.... :)

[pbonura]

Those mossberg guns have a slow twist rate so a slower slug would be ideal. Also try Winchester rack master slugs. Cheap and ideal for slug gun and can be used on a rifled barrel. Big holes also and a slower slug. However if it was me I would load up on the accutips.

I was looking for them to try (they have some great reviews) but read they stopped making them......Only whats left on the shelf and not finding any in the places I visited...

Nice shootin.

That's funny. I thought I was the only one who pulled out my rangefinder whenever I was skeptical about someone calling 250 yards on a shot I guessed was under 100. Now they just ask me what the range is whenever I show up at a kill site before they start with the "amazing stories". But hey, fishing stories and hunting stories are what makes hunt camps so much fun.

i tried accutips with my 870 just could not get a consistant result seemed they went all over. went to light field hybrid elites solid piece of lead seems to work quite well

My Ithaca 37 Deerslayer digests most slugs reasonably well (3''-4'' at 80 yards) but Brennekes and Challengers are the best performing (2.5''-3'' at 80 yards) . However , the Challengers leave a lot of lead in the bore . It baffles me because their alloy is alleged to be harder then most other slugs . I never Brinell-tested the alloy but find it contradicting . --- The bore is mirror-smooth (not pitted) . --- I guess I should have mentioned that mine still utelizes a 20'' smooth bore .
