Finally had a chance to shoot some of these today. More accurate than the Remingtons I used as a control. Seem to kick less.
Range was tight - 25 yards. Used a 870 w/rifle sights. Slugs blew through a piece of 6 x 8 kiln dried white spruce. This same piece of wood stopped .45/9mm handgun rounds (230/124 Gold Dots, 230/115 FMJ) Reinforced my belief that slugs are specialty items and not good for urban HD. The one slug I recovered from the backstop was not expanded and the nose was only slightly smeared.
