Where is the 20 gauge slug data?
« on: August 11, 2003, 04:01:01 PM »
I know a lot of you folks have been getting 20 gauge for your Encores, and I have seen data posted somewhere, but I cant find it.  Could someone please help me out?

Robert,
Are you looking for load data or ballistic data?

I know this isn't on the web but there is data in the Lyman shotgun load book for the 345 g foster slugs. Might check Winchester and Alliant web pages they sometimes show some loads.

I don't have any load data, but I do have the TC 20 gauge rifled barrel on a TC encore.  My scope is a Leupold Vari-X I, 1-4x.  My best groups to date are 1" at 50 yards, and just under 2" at 100 yards.  My barrel has a very strong preference for Winchester Supreme ammunition.  Doesn't care for Lightfields or Federals or Remingtons as much.

Robert,check out www.ballasticproducts.com..they have everything one needs for all types of shotshell reloading..including data books.  I believe the Hodgdon shotshell manual has the most loads listed..probably listed on their website also..take care of those other nine fingers!!!

I'll check it out, I was hoping to just find a few starting loads...also gonna have to get loads for 12 gauge sluts soon.  I can't wait to try some homemade 475 gr slugs.

20 ga data
« Reply #12 on: August 22, 2003, 03:30:02 PM »
Ballistic products definitely has the data for both 12 and 20. I reload for 12 right now from www.shotgunslugs.com for Hammerhead slugs. Shoot incredible out of my Hastings barrel and good friend is trying same in his Encore. If you want to reload for the 12, I highly recommend them. I was getting <1" groups at 50 yds and inside 2" at 100 so they shoot consistent. Terminal performance was good with one kill last year that went down like stone at 50 yds. Slug is combination sabot and stays with slug to target giving it better down range velocity and stability. They have shot well out of any rifled slug barrel tried so far. Give them a "shot".
