20g rifled slug barrel ammo question

[gendoc]

looking for something economical for the grandkids to practice and sight in with.
then they can move up to what i perfer to use.... and adjust accordingly

i have seen the winchester slugs around $4 a box
and the federal sabots bout the same price.

yall have any luck with these ?
or any other slugs that won't break the bank for practice ?

i'm a brenneke fan and the availability is getting slim, and the price is going up 
2 months ago i bought 10 boxes for $3.38 ea. now there $5.09 ea, at the only place i can find them.

thats why i'm look'n for something for the kids to practice with.

thanks

the cheep remington sluggers do shoot pretty good thru my 20 ga. mossy and it is a rifled barrel
i or we  used them to get the scope close then went to the ten doller a box hornedays
the sluggers were only about 3-4 in. off from the sabots so in shooting 5-6 boxes of the sluggers was a big savings for us.  i did see some lead fouling in the rifling tho.a good copper brush and solvent made quick work of removing it  good luck and happy shooting

John,

Do you cast?  A single lead ball can be very cheap for practice.

My brother wanted a heavy bear defense round, so we've been devoloping a round using three .605 hard balls out of a 20 gauge brass case.  We're up to 900 fps so far and he's loving it!  The balls weigh just about 300 grains each.

John,

When we're done I'll do a full report here.  Couple of days ago we tested and our high loads ran about 925 fps (for the three ball load).  Our goal is 1100 to 1200 fps.
