barrel. I'd like good accuracy, but, dropping the deer in its tracks is my
first priority.
Thank you.

Only your shotgun barrel knows. Buy a 5-pack of each brand you like and
try them at the range to see what shoots best. If you find several that
shoot an acceptable pattern, then you can choose based on terminal
balistics, i.e. what they'll do to the deer.

The best sabot slug to use is the one that shoots best in your shotgun.
Even if it does not expand and goes through the deer, that is still a .50
caliber hole through the deer! Do what I am doing. Buy a box of every kind
of saboted slug you can find and shoot groups from the bench. Let us know
what you find. I'll do the same when I'm finished.

Interesting. I use the 2-3/4" Remington sabots in my 1187
and am so satisfied with the results out to 100 yards that
I wouldn't consider trying anything else. I did speak to
another hunter who used the same sabots and said he tried
the 3" sabots and couldn't get as tight a pattern as he
did with the 2-3/4.

HOW ARE YA? MY NAME IS TOBY AND I AM FROM WICHITA FALLS TEXAS.
I SAW YOUR BULLETIN ABOUT THE SLUGS AND HAD TO WRITE. I SHOOT A
MOSSBERG TWELVE GAUGE AND I WAS LIKE YOU SHOOTING 2 3/4. I SWITCHED TO
3" SLUGS AND ENDED UP WITH A GROUP THE SIZE OF A SOFTBALL. I AM VERY
SATISFIED WITH MY SHELLS. THEY ARE THE COPPER SOLIDS 3". I TRIED
EVERYTHING ELSE AND NOTHING PERFORMED LIKE THE COPPER SOLID DID. WELL
GUESS I'LL GO NOW. HOPE TO TALK O YOU LATER
SINCERELY TOBY

have taken 4
deer with them, ( 4 slugs), slug always went in one side and out the other,
never lost a deer
and a deer never went more than 50 yards. I think winchester owns the brand
now, my
point with the "in one side and out the other is" why do I need any more
power than these
2 3/4" slugs have? Good blood trails when you got a hole on each side
leaking. Expansion
is not needed when 12 gauge slug hunting, these bri sabot slugs are hard
lead, nothing better!
