Just ordered a mini fortune in saboted slugs
What did you decide to go with?...I thought about going back to the Hornady SST. The slug might be the only hunting round to benefit from that d*mn polymer tip.
I bought a box of Hornady SST's, because they are what he had shot in it. However, I could only find them in 2.75. I got a couple boxes of the Remington solid copper sabot's. I figure if nothing else I can use the SST's to zero in. I've never been impressed with Hornady sst ammo to begin with, so I would really prefer to not shoot them
I found some 3" Federals...Barnes Expanders on ammoseek.com this morning.
I will be honest, I'd try 2 3/4" magnum slugs as well. My 1187 12 ga 3" with Rifled Slug Barrel shoots and groups the 2 3/4" magnum slugs better at 100 yards than 3" slugs.
I'm really liking this gun Alan. The camo one looks cool too TripleCreek. I have the same one but I need a slug barrel for it.
Dumb question. Can you shoot regular shot shells thru a rifled barrel? It would definitely not be a regular event. Just thinking if I carried this gun in the truck for a hog gun, but wanted to keep a bird shot handy to shoot a moccasin, would it do any damage to the rifling??
