Slug Suggestions

Winchester BRI rifled slugs, have shot well in both my shot guns.

You missed a great opportunity to use “Sluggestions”

Are shotguns allowed during your ML season?

Special muzzleloader is only a week for us here. And it's not even a good week. Bit no, they arent.

I tried them all and the Remington Copper Solids won out for my 870. They were the most accurate out to 125 yards and killed quickly. The double lung shots vaporized the lungs on every one I killed.

I wanted to try copper solids and barnes solids. Turns out all that my local place had was Hornady SSTs. So I got a few boxes. Out to 75 yards with the reflex sight, I feel like there's no reduction in accuracy over my tikka. I'm looking forward to shooting a deer with it.

Brenneke slugs have always been my favorite. That said I’ve only used them in .410.

Always worked well for me with my 12 gauge 870 out of the slug barrel. Also shot the Remington sabots a year or two as @Iron_llama mentioned, worked just fine too. My self imposed limit was always 100 yards with a slug though if that matters for reference, think I read you say shorter so probably not a factor.

This was all my local shop had in the way of sabot slugs. Since we shoot the same gun/barrel, I'm hoping they work well.

Also hoping my boresight is good. Really don't wanna shoot more of these things than I have to at paper.

Hope they work out good for you. I usually shoot the least I can. I used a bore site one year as a starting point and it worked pretty good. Had it sighted in within a box.

I love my mossberg. I'm in the shotgun zone in MI, and I have the rifled, smooth bore, and muzzle loader barrels for it. I can pretty much hunt everything michigan has to offer with it and don't see needing a new gun until I hunt out west.

I am a big believer that if it takes more than 2 shots to sight in a gun at 50 yards, you're doing it wrong. Boresight, shoot once from a vice, put crosshair on POA, click it to align with POI, shoot a second time to confirm.

Although I shot 8 rounds after that just to shoot for groups at 50, 75, and 100 yards. Pretty stout punch to the old shoulder.
