I understand, I'm just saying, in reading the specifications, and the way it was redesigned, it doesn't appear to be a better product than the Cor-Lock Ultra bonded slug.
Simple physics tells me that short and fat is out and long and slim is in when it comes to air resistance, and retaining velocity. This is exactly why slugs have transformed to what they are currently in comparison to the lead foster style slug. They redisigned this slug from 50 caliber to 58 caliber, and put on a plastic tip for a better air resistance. However, at 150 yards, the cor-loct bonded bullet has it beat, both in retained velocity and energy. So obviously, the plastic tip is not overcoming air resistance in relation to the diameter that the slug was increased to. Obviously, mid range trajectory is also higher than the cor-loct bonded slug.
I hate to say it also, but they are touting a 2.2 inch 100 yard group for this new slug, and a 1.8 inch group for it's predecessor. Of course, if your gun shoots it better, thats a whole different story. The upside of it all is that this new slug might reduce the price of cor-loct-ultra bonded slugs.
I am just leery of Remington anymore, especially since they were sold from under the DuPont umbrella, seems ever since then, that have to many bean counters in the corporate offices, and not enough skilled machinists in Ilion NY. Even before that I remember the 5MM rimfire they came out with, that they said was going to be the rage of all rimfires. Well, they discontinued the rifle after a few years, and then, couldn't even make ammunition for all the people that bought those rifles from them.
