Slick ol' slug
im looking to shoot a deer with my shotgun this year. its an older 870 smoothbore with a mod choke. i wanna use a 3" slug and im just wondering if anyone has any recommendations before i go spend a bunch of money testing different kinds. ive been thinking the Remington 3" rifled lead slug is gonna be the winner but not positive. any help or ideas is appreciated!!! |

for me i had good luck with the winchester pumpkin ball style rifled slugs and the brenekke rifled sabot jobs... both shot good for me up in maryland out of a smoothbore gun.
with that said it seems like every gun has its favorite.. if you want to make it purr, you can pick up a rifled slug barrel with cantelever scope mount and then run remington copper solids through it. You will then be good out to 150 yards or so with sub 2 inch groups. |

You can get a rifled choke but they don't work quite as well.

Slugs through a modified choke
I have been told to shoot through improved cylinder or less,but if a old gun with modified barrel it might be a improved cylinder by now.

Had to shoot slug guns for years in Ohio. A centerfire rifle is so far superior in every way, it isn't even funny. Smooth bore slug guns may be good to 50 yards if the wind isn't blowing. I'd prefer a 22LR for deer hunting to a slug gun if I had to kill deer or starve. Ended up using muzzleloaders most seasons, as these were at least reliable to 125 yards, even when the wind was blowing.

Yea I bought some rifled slugs and shot it. Was shooting a foot low at 20 yards... I'll just have to invest in a 35 wheelen(?) next year. Luckily I have a bow and now rifle season is open.

Just wondering if anybody tried the new 2 or 3 ball hog wild. From what i see on the reviews they are suppose to be devastating on hogs so they should do a number on deer.....

I've never seen them yet. Maybe if I'd put my fishing pole down and hunt I'd be in the loop lol. Sounds like a bad mofo though. |
