PROPPER STEPS FOR TESTING THE FIRST SLUGS IN ULTRA SLUGGER 12??
« on: February 21, 2008, 12:38:01 PM »
HOW SHOULD I TEST THE SLUGS? MY GUNS NEVER BEEN FIRED, BUT I DID CLEAN IT BECAUSE THE BARREL WAS QUITE NASTY! I GUESS FROM FACTORY TESTING?

I GOT A NEW BUSHNELL TROPHY 3X9X40 WITH LEUPOLD MEDIUM RINGS, AND THAT HAMMER ALMOST SCRAPES THE ZOOM RING!

MY SCOPE WAS MOUNTED AND BORE SIGHTED BY THE SHOP WHERE I PURCHASED IT.

I WILL PROB JUST TEST THE COPPER SOLIDS  AND THE CHEAPER WINCHESTER BRI   BOTH IN 2.75   ITS MY UNDERSTANDING THE 3 INCH SHELLS DON'T HELP ADD MUCH!

SHOULD I LEAVE THE SCOPE ALONE WHEN TESTING AND JUST LOOK AT GROUPING?   I'M KINDA LOST AS TO HOW TO FIND THE MAGIC SLUG.

If it is on paper shoot a couple brands for group and adjust once you settle on a particular slug. I have been pleased with the accuracy and on game performance of the federal premium 2 3/4" so well that I haven't shot anything else for years.

I'd much rather be remembered for being a great shot than having the most expensive gun

Check out - TARHUNT. COM its the site for tar hunt slug guns and light field slugs . It has a section on shooting slugs that addresses alot on how to shoot slug guns , it helped me and you might find it helpful .
i shoot a savage 210 slug gun . Have tried a bunch of slugs and settled on lightfield 3 inch , have had really tight groups with them , a few in the 2-2.5 range but avg. 3-3.5 . I know there are folks that get 1/2 inch groups but i haven't figured out how to with slugs approaching 3/4 inch in dia. And yes a few groups of 3 were clover leafs but can't do it on demand !
have noticed that some lots of ammo are tighter than others .
i use the three inch shell because it feeds thru the savage the 23/4 sometimes don't . can't say what the receiving end feels like but the launching end get a bit mo kick with 3 in. shells . if your gun shoots 23/4 good , stick with them you are a lucky man !

Im shooting a 20 guage but I settled on Hornady ssts. My gun didnt like a clean barrel ,so It may take 10 rounds or so before it shoots good. Id stay at 50 yards . Tar hunt.com is a real good site. worth  checking out

have you tried the light fields ? i tried most of the copper plated /total copper and found the 1 1/8 plain lead slug with the wad that stays attached until impact shoots the best in my 12 ga. i have them for my 20 ga. but can't remember the weight . These are for rifled bbl's don't confuse them with reg. old slugs . the 12's are in red boxes and the 20 in blue boxes i think .

old style rifled slugs might leave lead where they touch as they bounce down the bbl. keep in mind they were under sized to keep the unknowing from hurting them selves !

NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN.  UNDERSIZED SO THAT SOMEONE WOULDNT BLOW A GUN APART BY USING A CHOKE??

thats right so they could pass thru. full choke in old guns with out causing to higher pressure .
older shotguns had thinner bbls before steel shot came out
