20 gauge slugs
« on: November 26, 2003, 02:29:51 AM »
Have any of you had any practical experience with the newer high velocity 20 gauge slugs?  Namely the Remington bonded slugs or the Winchester partitions?  How was the recoil?  Accuracy?  Performance on deer?  Thanks!

I've had several years of experience with the Win. partition golds and have been extremely satisfied.  Accurate (in my gun), flat shooting, and bullet performace is great at all practical ranges.  Those petals in front peel back and leave a huge wound channel and the bullet holds together.  I've taken 6 deer with them from 10 to 100+ yards without a hint of failure.  They do recoil a little harder than the lower velocity sabots and fosters but it is not objectionable to me (they don't put bruises on my shoulder the way the 12ga. does  :lol: ).

I've shot the Rems for accuracy (they did fine) but have no field experience with them.
