Ultra Slug Hunter Accuracy Question
« on: November 08, 2011, 10:51:00 AM »
Ok, I am looking for a dedicated Deer Slug Gun for here in Indiana. When searching for the most accurate deer slug gun setups... two choices come up. The Ultra Slug Hunter, and a variety of Bolt action shotguns such as the Savage. So, I was looking at the Ultra Slug Hunter, but then noticed there is the Ultra Slug Hunter, Ultra Slug Hunter Deluxe, and Ultra Slug Hunter Light. My question is, which of these will produce the most accurate slug gun. I was leaning towards a 20g and planning on reaching out around 150yards which from my reading of reviews... is completely doable. Just thought I'd come get the opinions of the pros here and see if a particular model is better than another for what I am wanting.

Thanks,

Glockfan

I have a standard 20ga. USH. At 100 yards, it will shoot under 3 inch groups with just about any quality slugs.

I "believe", the deluxe is just a bit fancier, and the light is just that, lighter in weight.
Personally, I feel a slighter heavier gun will help with accuracy.

As far as of the bolt action guns, most I have ever shot were very accurate. But, once you take that first shot in the morning woods, if you miss, the second shot is questionable. I have found that the extra second or two might allow the deer to stop and look, and maybe allow a second shot. And knowing you only have one in the gun, will always make that first shot more precise.
I carry a single shot.
'cause it only takes one shot.

My son has a 20ga USH and will clover leaf 2 3/4" buckhammers at 75 yards. The trick is to find what it likes to shoot. No matter which one you drcide on buy a bunch of different sabots including buck hammers and shoot them for group before you even start the sight in process. Finding what it likes to shoot will save a bunch of head aches and money down the road.

Sorry to be late to the party...
 
 My 12 Ga USH is a real shooter as most USH's are...
 
I site mine in dead on at 100 with Buck Hammers and have found that with this setting the Remington Ultra Corlokt slugs hit about 2" high... making it an honest 150 yard dead on and 175 yard shotgun!! With it, I would not hesitate on a clear open shot on a whitetail at under 200 yards.
Here is an old target when I first started shooting the buck hammers.
