Hastings Laser Accurate Slugs - HOLY COW!!

[FrontSight]

Anybody else try these slugs yet? I did yesterday, and all I can say is HOLY COW...

Picked up a shotgun yesterday, and also sighted in my bolt action Savage slug gun. I was shooting Remington Core Lockts, and they were ok, but not great groups (about 2 - 3 inches at 50 yards, and a hell of a kick).

So the dealer tells me Hastings has new slugs that are supposed to be great and this & that. This is the same thing he told me about the Remintongs the year before, but I figure what the heck, lemme try a box, what have I got to lose.

And oh my god, amazing - I wound up shooting 4 boxes, one target per box, each box destroyed the middle of a Sight N See target.

The even better part: they cost about 50% less than the remingtons, and the kick was about 25% less, too. Either way I gotta put a limbsaver on that thing. Hahaha

Just wondering if anyone has tried them? I'm also suspecting that I did better with them because I got more comfortable shooting them due to the lower kick, so I wasn't flinching as much - I know for a fact I kept it more centered; those kind of "I know that was a good shot" shots where you don't even have to look becuase you know it went well. With the remingtons I was cringing with ever shot...

Either way, anybody try these yet?

I haven't had a chance to try them yet, but will soon. I shoot hundreds of slugs every year and probably every brand out there. Shooting from a bench is brutal at times, so I use a "sissy" bag. It is simply and old shot bag that I have filled with old used up tumble media, It is light and conforms to me and the gun well. Sand works as well, just a little heavier. The slugs sound good too..

Where to purchase these slugs? Are they rifled 12ga. slugs?

Thanks,

Is there any way to get them in Texas? Will they work in non rifled 12 guages? I'm still a little unexperienced with shotgun slugs and started for hd reasons.
